Fuse Audio GLD

Most turntables hide the record under a dust cover. The Fuse Audio GLD does the opposite: the record rotates standing upright, so the vinyl itself becomes part of the room's decor. According to the maker, the goal is to combine traditional analogue sound with a contemporary design that works as a piece of interior furniture.

Designed to be seen

The vertical layout is the GLD's defining feature. The maker says it saves space while adding a visual element to listening, since the spinning record stays in view. The body is built from ash wood, which the maker describes as durable and naturally understated, intended to sit comfortably alongside modern interiors.

The audio side

For playback, the GLD uses a cartridge made by Audio-Technica. The maker claims high resolution and clear sound while preserving the warmth associated with vinyl. Dedicated bookshelf speakers are included, which the maker says deliver a dynamic, full sound.

The maker positions the GLD for both music lovers and people who prioritise interior design, presenting it as a turntable meant to be enjoyed by eye as much as by ear.
