April 28, 2023 Marc Phillips 1

The Big Technics Room | High End 2022

May 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

One of my great pleasures in this hobby, at least over the last few years, is totally eating crow over my old comments about Technics and direct-drive turntables. Yes, I’ve come around to loving Technics […]

Turntables in Munich | High End 2022

May 25, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Turntables in Munich | High End 2022
