21 of our favourite turntable cameos in films and TV shows

"What turntable is that?" Like us, you probably utter that question whenever you spy a decent deck on your TV or cinema screen. Odds are it's a Technics or a Pro-Ject, but every once in a while you come across something really different, something very vintage, or something just plain beautiful.

Cassette Store Day: a look back to 1985 and the blank tape's heyday

Yes, Cassette Store Day is a thing - and actually, that's not at all unjust considering tape sales are the highest they've been since 2004. Inspired by the popularity of Record Store Day, Cassette Store Day was concocted in 2013 to celebrate yet another retro format.

Moon 240i review

There's something spellbinding about the Moon 240i. It's Moon's latest entry-level integrated amplifier ('entry-level' being the very thick end of £2000 to a company such as Moon), but it has the performance and looks of something far pricier.

LG 55EG960V 4K OLED TV

When LG launched its first OLED screen last year - the 55EC930V - we fell in love. It was everything we'd hoped for from OLED: deep, luscious blacks and punchy, bright colours.
