Sometimes I like to go into Big Dubs just to see what's snappin'. This fine emporium stocks much more than $6.25 flannies and $9.82 hipster plimsolls. There's also thrillingly vulgar matched luggage, make-your-own yoghurt kits, camping chairs so cheap you don't mind when a drunken web designer breaks yours at Meredith... And this incredible stereo system, which gives you a sweet tingling feeling like someone has filled your heart with sherbet.
If you're not a DJ or audio snob with pots of cash, it's hard to find a new record player full stop, let alone one with a CD player and digital AM/FM tuner. Better yet, it spins vinyl at 33, 45 and 78rpm. That's right! You can play old 78s on this like Seymour from Ghost World. But sweet sherbet Jesus, that isn't all. It also rips vinyl to USB in mp3 format - in real time. Shit, I wish I'd never told Penny about this.
