This complete LEGO sound system is called "The Planet," and it's the masterwork of Korean designer Hayarobi. The set contains 2,405 pieces and is powered by a LEGO Power Functions Battery Box and a LEGO Power Functions M-Motor.
Huh Magazine says the only piece here that isn't LEGO is the needle. That's an Audio Technica phono cartridge, though we assume LEGO is working on its own for a future vinyl set inspired by Hayarobi's creation.
Coolest piece? We love the gorgeously retro tube amp that matches the turntable, but check out the LEGO car tires that counterbalance the arm:
