The Diamond Turntable by Schau

Filed under: Gadgets

German brand Scheu Ananlog seems to have gone to the "marketing to ladies" handbook with their DJ equipment aimed at women. It's called The Diamond, it has a website titled LadylikeScheu and it's pink.. Not just pink but that particular carnation shade so beloved of cell phone companies and producers of feminine hygiene products. Get past the pink though and the Scheu Analog is simple and yes, sexy.

And don't worry it comes in more colors than pink, actually a lot more and in fact the wood grain version and the black version are not girly at all. British singer, Katie Melua, who became the first official owner of a Diamond turntable chose the black one for herself. I'm not sure how successful it is as DJ equipment but designwise, it rocks. The Diamond sells for 3,900 euros.

You may not recognize the name of Paul Oakenfold but you've likely heard his music. Oakenfold is a popular techno DJ and has had his music and remixes featured on a variety of soundtracks. His home, which recently hit the market, is a musicians paradise. Oakenfold bought the home in 2003 for a price in the $2.5 to $3 million neighborhood. The home sits a promontory above the Hollywood Bowl and has some truly amazing views. As the Real Estalker Mama notes, the exterior isn't particularly notable but the interior is lovely. French doors abound and the master bedroom is particularly stunning because the French doors basically open up the entire room, check out the night shot in the gallery of listing pictures, it's amazing. There are four bedrooms total. The home has a large recording studio and there is a lovely pool, spa and patio area and a nice patch of grassy lawn. Oh, and about that Hollywood Bowl view, the home has bleachers so that, with a set of binoculars, you can watch the show for free. Maybe that savings would help defray some of the $10 million asking price.
