My oh my. It’s official. Panasonic confirmed what has been a rumor for a while: they’re stopping the production of the iconic Technics 1200 vinyl turntable.
Sad sad sad news. Read the full story here.
But I’m damn happy I own two! They’re like gold, I love them and they’ll never get old. Bought them 15 years ago and I’m pretty sure they will stand close to me for at least another 15 years.

Sad news on the SL’s, i’ll need to cop a set myself soon then (still rocking some plastic soundlab shit, also for 15 years tho, hah!), but hey; that sure is a nice slipmat you’re rocking on yer table, matey! :)
