Now...

In fact, Matsushita Electric, who use the brand name Technics for their top line products, have been making direct-drive turntables since their original SP-10 in 1971 and this SL-1300 seems to have carried the principle to even higher standards, while adding a number of user features which make the...

Technics SL-1500 Turntable
At a first glance, this Technics SL-1500 does not look very different from the SL-1300 but in fact it is somewhat simpler, being a manual player, whereas the SL-1300 is automatic. At the front right-hand corner is a combined on/off speed selector knob, sensibly placed well clear of the pickup headshell...

Thorens TD280mkII Turntable
The vinyl LP may be in the throes of a terminal decline without much chance of a last-minute reprieve, but it isn't quite dead yet!
