Audiowood Black Barky
Audiowood Black Barky
Black Barky is an ebonized version of the original Barky Turntable that's been around since 2009.
Barky is an almost embarrassingly simple design that is, in reality, very difficult to execute. It begins with an ash wood round from a family logger in the upper Midwest who has perfected a drying technique that prevents cracking. Once they arrive in New Orleans, the rounds are sanded perfectly flat and are given individual design layouts due to their unique shapes. Then they are machined to very tight tolerances, finished by hand, and fit with a beautifully made, audiophile grade parts kit from Rega, made in the UK. As with all Audiowood products, they are then packaged in recycled or biodegradable packaging (or both) and sent anywhere in the world.
Barky has been featured in dozens of major publications, including California Home and Design, Wired (Germany), Inked, Velvet (Italy), and in blogs from BoingBoing, to Cool Hunting and Daily Candy, etc. Barky has also won awards in several art and furniture competitions.
Barky is a limited-production (10-15 per year on average), high-quality turntable made with a solid ash round, quality Rega parts kit, 24 Volt Power Supply, heavy glass platter and Rega RB330 tonearm. It includes a pre-mounted cartridge, adjustable black-finished solid brass spike legs, and is finished with hand-rubbed polyurethane and paste wax. Each Barky is handmade in New Orleans and each is somewhat unique.
Barky is available in 4 versions: a 115V version for the US and Canada with either a Rega Carbon Cartridge or an Ortofon 2m Blue Cartridge, a 115V Ortofon Cartridge version for certain other international locations (like Mexico), and an Ortofon Cartridge 230V version for most international locations. Shipping for international locations is $200.00. Shipping to US is free.
Because the cartridge is already mounted and aligned, Barky only requires a few minutes of setup before use.
Barky is compatible with the Rega TTPSU external power supply which is available as an extra, and which allows for push-button speed changes. Barky is also compatible with many aftermarket Rega-compatible products, such as Groovetracer subplatters.
This table is a custom order, and should ship in 2-3 weeks.
International customers, please note: you are responsible for any and all customs/import duties assessed in the destination country. These fees can be quite high in certain countries, so please be aware of them before ordering.
Barky is sustainably made in the USA with quality UK parts and comes with a 3 year warranty from Audiowood, protecting against defects in manufacture and assembly. The cartridge is not included in this warranty.
