Fuse Audio is a California company founded in 2016 by Joseph Wu that makes vertical record players. Its best known product, the GLD, was shown at CES 2025 and raised over USD 627,000 from more than 2,500 backers on Kickstarter, against a goal of USD 10,000.
Range & what it's known for
The brand is known for players that hold the record upright, so the album and its sleeve are on display. The GLD is a belt-drive deck with 33, 45 and 78 rpm speeds, a balanced tonearm and an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, set in a stained ash plinth with gold or black trim and a slot for album art.
Who owns it and where it's made
Joseph Wu still runs the business, which remains privately held and California based. No public information names the factory that builds the players.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables. The GLD is listed here, with a built-in phono stage, RCA line outputs, aux input and Bluetooth, plus a pair of bookshelf speakers with 1-inch tweeters and 4-inch drivers powered by a 36 W per channel amplifier. Retail pricing was USD 349.
Who it's for
Buyers who want an all-in-one vinyl system that doubles as a display piece and plays 78 rpm shellac with a suitable stylus. The line outputs leave room to add a separate amplifier and speakers later.
