    • Price/Performance: outstanding
"The old master manages the balancing act between professional machine and hi-fi device convincingly. The robust mechanics, which can be adjusted very precisely in the case of the tonearm, for example, are considered almost indestructible. The sound of the Technics with its crisp and sonorous liveliness is a lot of listening fun. The legend lives. And how!"
