Technics arrives at Soundline

[@ridirefain6606]

I started with Technics it was my first foray from a budget console turntable to a more serious yet very entry level $99.00 SL-D202 direct drive semi-automatic turntable. That thing ran trouble free from 1982 until it was sold for consignment in 2019. Now consider this was intended as disposable product and certainly was nothing special, but its reliability sold me on a SL 1200 GAE which to me is every bit of a higher end product despite not ever having any use for the pitch slider. Like its old sister the 202 it has run now trouble free since 2016 and most likely will be the last turntable I will own. There is no beating it for spot on speed accuracy, elimination of motor hum, and bearing rumble. It is dead silent,
