Technics Turntables...really???

The only people who prop up Technics are poor audiophile wanna-bes.  For the garbage Technics built in the past, they will forever pay for their sins.  

@jymc , Realy?

Not to get into a heated discussion, I have an GAE, Thorens 126 & an EMT 948. All have their own signature sound. My GAE w/an SME 309 can sometimes give my EMT a run for the money with certain lp's. At the end of the day, the EMT is my go to table, & then my GAE.

Come & give a listen.

jymc apparently was frightened by a Technics turntable as a youth. I wouldn't take him too seriously.  He hits and runs.

Nah lewm....

Technics simply represents a bad memory from my distant past while their track record is not so great with several models.  My response is more a momentary from-the-gut reaction couched in hyperbole.  And, giving in to the brand most preferred by DJs would be a difficult association to live with.  

With that said, I believe Technics has corrected the sins of their past with some capable offerings.  However, there are few features provided by Technics that cannot be equaled or bettered by belt drive TTs.  For me, an ex-TT brand with a checkered track record is like an ex-wife....neither have warm spots in my heart. 

It would be better to post substantive comments on Technics TTs, than to rely on sarcasm. Say why you don’t like them. Like why did you get a divorce? Most DJs don’t even use TT s any more, when you can even find a DJ. You need to do better than that.
