Editors' note: This giveaway has a Twitter component, so please read the below rules carefully. We've turned off comments on this post to avoid confusion as to how to enter the contest.

Congratulations to Jesse L. of San Diego for winning a Sony HT-XT1 pedestal sound bar last week.

Been looking for a reason to dust off your parents' old record collection? Then tune in. Today we're giving away the Fluance RT80, a high-fidelity belt-drive turntable. The RT80 came out in June, after online direct-to-consumer Canadian audio company Fluance secured funding for it on Kickstarter.

The product comes in a piano-black finish and features a lightweight hollow-wood design meant to reduce reverberation. It has an anti-skating system to protect your traditional LP and EP vinyl albums and packs a Texas Instruments preamp inside that allows for simple connection to powered speakers. Even if you don't own any records yet, the vintage style would work as a great statement piece in any hipster living room.
