Now that we live in the iPod era, people get nostalgic about the way things used to be while at the same time voting with their dollars and buying still more, modern plastic and lifeless products that are void of any real personality and charm. Few things however can match a beautiful old turntable.

It has substance and style. You can smell the wood and it has a an actual beautiful personality and presence while sitting sitting there. Certus Turntables aim to bring back the style and elegance of a time not very long ago. The only difference is that they come with the latest technology packed inside. The Certus motor for instance uses revolutionary applications of materials, which result in a richer music experience.

The Certus Turntable by Teres Audio comes in two flavors, the 460 and the 450. The 460 model has two armboards with the Gibraltar isolation stand and the 450 comes with everything available on 460 but the additional brass and hardwood base and the dual armboards. Pricing starts at $13,900. A top of the line model will cost $25,500. When is the last time you saw an iPod or Cd player look like this?
