1960s Brionvega Radiofonografo record player returns in red This one, like the other recent reissues, us all about going back to basics. What isn’t here is a CD player and DVD player, which were a part of the 2008 updated reissue. The ‘face’ on the front courtesy of the dials and switches, is something that is often remarked upon too. Great if you need the extra space around. This is a sound system housed in a handmade wooden cabinet that you can wheel around via the forged aluminium wheels, It also has speakers with circular detailing that can move around, allowing you to have them on the side or stack them up on top. But there is more to this design than just the functionality.

If the specification is the same (and I believe it is) then it is still a record deck with AM/FM radio plus built-in speakers.

Not sure why, but this one is at the top of the range. I don’t believe the design is any different from the other reissues, although the price is a little higher. Although still quite an outlay for someone. You will be pleased to know that the reissues are available for a fraction of that price. After his death, Bowie’s own Radiofonografo was sold at auction at Sotheby’s, selling for an incredible £257,000. Why David Bowie? Well, the Thin White Duke was a fan of the design and had one in his home. In fact, this was a key player in my 10 of the best midcentury modern audio systems round-up of late. Think midcentury audio and you think about this. Still looking like a futuristic piece of technology, it was designed back to 1965 and was the work of Piergiacomo and Achille Castiglioni. The design itself, also known as the RR226, is a modern-era classic and one that will always be linked to David Bowie. A quick glance at the Brionvega store suggests both are still for sale now. 100 of each colour were being made available. When I featured the remakes in 2018 a key selling point was limited numbers in both the white and the orange finishes. I know, another edition of this much-loved record player.
