If you need a reminder that humans are awesome, listen to some music. And I don’t mean warbling out of your phone’s or tablet’s tiny speaker — I mean listen to some music. Out of a big honkin’ speaker. The way nature intended.
No speaker? No problem. Your beloved Cheapskate is giving away two of them, plus a turntable for folks who like their albums old-school (meaning actual albums, on vinyl).
Let’s call it the Awesome Audio Contest! It’s your chance to win one of the following:
- Grand Prize: Fluance Fi50 Bluetooth Speaker (ARV $199.99)
- Runner Up 1: Fluance Fi30 Bluetooth Speaker (ARV $149.99)
- Runner Up 2: Electrohome Archer Briefcase Record Player (ARV $99.99)
Good stuff, no? Good stuff, yes! The Fluance speakers earned top marks from CNET’s David Carnoy, and the briefcase turntable is just flat-out cool.
