EXEMODE ER-250

Name: EXEMODE ER-250
Category: Home audio/video
Price: Open price (around ¥10,000)
Release date in Japan: March 22, 2008

Vinyl isn't dead; it's just being copied onto solid-state memory by EXEMODE Inc.'s new ER-250 audio system. The Tokyo-based digital device maker's system weighs in at a compact 3.3 kg (plus two 1.28 kg speakers) and only delivers 2W of sound, but promises to neatly straddle the analog and digital worlds. The unit will play LP/EP records and audio CDs, recording the output to MP3 file format on digital memory (USB, SD, miniSD, or MMC). There's an AM/FM tuner as well, for more analog joy.

If you'd rather stick with playback from digital media, the ER-250 accommodates MP3 or WMA audio files in addition to CDs.

Best of all, the ER-250 is expected to cost you only about ¥10,000. As a low-cost way to liberate vinyl - say, turning a parent's classic collection into a format the next generation can enjoy - it's worth checking out. (Sounds to me like the most fun to be had with record albums since the time we kids discovered mom and dad's "Hair" LP. That was better than Saturday morning cartoons.)
