LAS VEGAS , Nevada ( CNN ) -- Attention audiophiles , old-school vinyl listeners and the very rich : Do we have a piece of stereo equipment for you . Angelis Labor 's Gabriel turntable is made from bronze and steel and can be customized with up to four arms . It 's called the Gabriel Turntable , and you wo n't find it at Wal-Mart . Crafted in limited editions by an Italian company that will engrave each buyer 's name on it , the Gabriel is to a Kenner Close ' N Play what a Ferrari is to a Yugo . `` When I look at it , '' said Placido Pappalardo , co-owner of maker Angelis Labor , `` the only word that comes to mind is love . '' Angelis Labor executives proudly unveiled their turntable last week at the International Consumer Electronics Show , where its retro appearance and mechanical design set it apart from the cacophony of digital gadgets on display . That , and the price : up to $ 64,000 , depending on which model is ordered . The Gabriel is made from aluminum , bronze and stainless steel and can be customized with up to four arms . Each arm is made in a Modena , Italy , factory that also builds Ferrari parts . A one-armed model costs about $ 27,000 , while a four-armed version runs for $ 64,000 , including installation . Watch the Gabriel in action » . `` It is a thing of beauty , '' said Jonathan Valin , executive editor of The Absolute Sound magazine , who saw the turntable in Las Vegas but did n't get to hear it . `` Whether it is a world-class turntable , I do n't know . '' Why would anyone want four arms on their record player ? Different pickup cartridges produce different types of sound , and some audiophiles like to match their record players ' arms to different genres of music without going through the hassle of swapping cartridges . The Gabriel is a magnetic suspension turntable , meaning that calibrated magnets are used to lift the platter a few millimeters above its bearings . This helps reduce vibration , which can affect sound quality . `` It 's as if the whole turntable is floating in air , '' Pappalardo said . The entire device rests on a custom-built , vibration-dampening table . It takes half a day for an Angelis Labor technician to set the whole thing up and calibrate the turntable . The Gabriel is not yet in stores . Angelis Labor is now seeking a distributor to sell the turntable through specialty audio retailers who can demonstrate it personally for customers . Unlike most manufacturers , the company has no interest in selling it on the Web . `` We will never allow anybody to sell our products on the Internet , '' said Pappalardo , perhaps the only business executive at CES this year to make such a statement . The Gabriel is not the only four-armed record player on the market . Nor is it the most expensive : the German-made , 770-pound Clearaudio Statement turntable costs twice as much . But with vinyl making a comeback , the Gabriel may appeal to audiophiles who believe that listening to old records on a high-end player is like going back in time . `` They 're not just eye candy . They actually sound better , '' said Valin , who prefers analog sound to the digital sound produced by CDs and MP3 files . But even Valin wonders what kind of person would pay $ 64,000 for a turntable . `` You 'd have to be very wealthy , very much into vinyl or very crazy , '' he said . `` Or all three . ''
