Two major names in analog audio are paying tribute to Elvis Presley on what would have been his 90th birthday, each with limited-edition releases designed for fans who still love the warmth of vinyl and tape. Pro-Ject has introduced a special version of its T2 turntable, while We Are Rewind has unveiled a retro cassette player inspired by The King’s legacy — both created for collectors who want their music experience to look as good as it sounds.
Pro-Ject’s Elvis-themed T2 turntable reimagines one of the company’s most acclaimed models with a CNC-machined plinth illuminated by the classic “ELVIS” logo in dimmable LED lights. The design nods to the iconic bulb-lit sign from Presley’s ’68 Comeback Special performance of If I Can Dream. Beneath its nostalgic exterior, the turntable features a 9-inch aluminum tonearm, an adjustable spring-based anti-skating system, and a pre-installed Sumiko Rainier cartridge. It includes a 10mm, 1.7kg glass platter and an electronically regulated motor that allows easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM, ensuring compatibility with modern and vintage vinyl alike. The turntable is available now for £1,199, roughly $1,590.
The second piece in this Elvis-themed celebration comes from We Are Rewind, which has released a limited-edition portable cassette player based on its WE-001 model. The We Are Rewind x Elvis Presley Box Set includes the cassette player and a reissued copy of Elvis’ Christmas Album from 1957 — a fitting tribute, as only 1,957 units will be made worldwide. Priced at $199 / €179, the player combines vintage appeal with modern functionality. It includes a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 12 hours and Bluetooth 5.1 support, letting users pair it with wireless earbuds or speakers.
The Walkman-inspired device retains analog charm but embraces the convenience of 2025 technology, offering fans the tactile pleasure of cassette playback without sacrificing portability or sound quality. Together, these releases mark a nostalgic yet forward-thinking homage to Elvis Presley’s musical and cultural influence, proving that analog still has a place in a digital world.
For collectors and fans alike, both devices embody the spirit of The King — timeless, bold, and built to last.
