I'd be worried about rumble from such an arrangement - I see they are showing a spec of <-60dBa but they don't say if that's a weighted measurement or not.

Oh, this is rich!

"LOVE plays vinyl the traditional way, with a stylus, with the crackles and pops, with that rich, warm analog sound that bring each song to life."

Really, I didn't know the crackles and pops were part of the rich warm analog sound we all crave.

Next:
Bandwidth (3dB): 20 Hz to 18 KHz
Sample rate: 44 kHz, 16 bit stereo
Channel Separation: 25dB at 1kHz
Channel Balance: 2dB

Really? What part of 16/44 is the "rich warm analog sound we all crave"?
And how can you go wrong with channel balance that is within 2 dB? Not 0.2dB. 2dB!!

Honestly, I'm tempted to give them $319 just so I can be the first on my block to see exactly how this amazing piece of crap sounds.

Here's the sad part- First, it is actually a damn clever device. Really. Second, millennials will love this thing and the company will probably make a fortune.
But as they say on Shark Tank- I'm out. I do not want to die and go to Heaven to meet God, with his Wilson Chronosonic speakers playing LPs on a uber expensive rig in the background, and have him look at me and say: "You bought what? Get the hell out of here. Literally."

But can it outperform this vintage analog version?

I have a strong feeling that this will succeed in the marketplace as it is not aimed at anyone that cares about musical reproduction.

If you have ever shopped for a turntable with a Millennial you will understand that this demographic is looking cool with convenience.
