Correct me if I am wrong, but this year’s KLIAVS featured more turntables than ever before. From the good ol’ Linn LP12 in Perfect Hi-Fi’s room to the twin-platter Kronos in hifi Creations’ room, it was certainly a show that was worthwhile for the vinyl addict. Here are some photos of the turntables that I saw (it may not be a complete list) and heard.

There is a formula to JBL’s staying power in the audio industry, and it's one driven by its approach to making speakers. A combination of exciting sound, pounding bass and muscular aesthetics has been a recipe used by the brand not only in regular speaker design but even in portable and professional audio as well.
