Technics
Technics is a solid-state brand, and the original site's single Technics page is a company profile rather than a listing. It covers the brand from Matsushita's premium loudspeakers of 1965 through the direct-drive turntables that made it famous, and adds an unusually detailed note on the 9000 Professional Series of rack-mountable components, including the differences between the European and American faceplates.
Technics turntables, above all the SL-1200 of 1972, remain far more sought after than its amplifiers. When buying vintage Technics electronics, the usual checks apply: capacitors, switches and the condition of any meters.
See the Technics maker page for the brand's history to its 2014 relaunch.
