Why the Technics SL-1200 is the World's Best Selling Turntable!

In this episode, Mike and David discuss the legendary Technics SL-1200 – and why its parent company Panasonic has sold so many!

There's no doubting the quality of this iconic direct drive deck. Tough enough even for DJ use, it's also a surprisingly good hi-fi design – especially in the latest SL-1200G guise.

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs.

Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from his earlier hi-fi retail years, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.

So brew up a cuppa or crack open a can, and relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. Oh, and don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
