Rega Planar series, for sure. They are pricey, though. I’d hazard that there are some Pro-ject models that are likely superior at a lower price point than the Rega’s.
Again, nothing against yours, it’s a good one. But there’s almost always something better, and in this case that holds true.
That’s a nice turn table and you should be happy to have it. But, it is definitely not better than any deck you can get today.
The Why Files
There’s actually a decent amount of research into exactly this sort of thing, called, appropriately, “energy harvesting”. Depending on the application, it can be fairly effective. I know that vibration energy harvesting has been successfully in machinery monitoring applications, for example. I haven’t looked much into stray EM harvesting, but I’m sure it is possible…most likely to supplement a primary energy source rather than as the main source itself. But, yeah, for sure it’s an interesting topic with a fairly good amount of study into it…I think the University of Michigan had a few good research programs related to harvesting for ultra low power applications.

Where (generally) were you hiking? I live near the Appalachian Trail & I love to get out for a good hike every now and then.
Bullshit. This started long ago. We’re deep in the midst of it now.
