Chinese gramophone maker, Fennessy has knocked it out of the park with its stunning, modern Donut -- a $2,000 record player that you can't get in the U.S.
Despite being someone who writes about audio products for a living, I am not a vinyl fan. I leave that anachronistic love affair to my colleagues, Caleb Denison and Derek Malcolm, both of whom will happily consume an entire afternoon on Teams discussing the finer points of turntable design, or any number of other topics related to getting the best sound out of a record. None of that excites me.
As long as we’re all now window-shopping together, let’s dig a little deeper into what we’re missing. The Donut stands 5.1 feet tall and weighs 66 pounds. And though it’s designed to resemble an old-timey gramophone, that amazing, colorful horn , is merely one of three sound sources. The bugle is embedded with a 10-watt, 1-inch tweeter. But concealed under the turntable is a front-firing, 40-watt 6.5-inch midrange driver, and a down-firing 60-watt 8-inch woofer.
Speaking of vinyl , here’s what you need to know: The turntable is powered by a Japanese-built, microprocessor-controlled DC motor at either 33⅓ or 45 RPM. It’s a belt-driven system that turns a 2.2-pound all-metal platter that’s topped with a custom slip mat. In other words, it’s a record player. I’m more interested in the fact that it comes in a crazy number of colors and designs. A standard Donut i5 is available with your choice of orange, banana, dragon fruit, red velvet, avocado, matcha, chocolate, or milk-colored bugles, with a black wooden base and fabric grille.
