What is David Bowie's turntable?


After the passing of this great artist I have been listening to a lot of vinyl again, including his jazzy and brilliant Blackstar.

It got me to thinking what kind of turntable we would find in his home.

I can imagine a Gyrodec, given its charming form (Steve Jobs also had a Gyrodec). But I can also picture the Thin White Duke with a Thorens Reference. Given how avant garde he was a pitch black object from outer space, like a Technics SP10 in OMA Tourmaline plinth would also be so fitting.

Apologies for a somewhat trivial post, but it is my way of paying tribute to DB and also indulging in some pleasant daydreaming.

I could see Bowie with a B&O turntable, one with a built-on straight line tonearm, and a B&O system, all in white.
