New from Technics: SL1300G Turntable and SCC-X700 Powered Loudspeakers

From the folks at https://ecoustics.com/ Big news coming out of Technics and their parent company, Panasonic! Here is a link to the SL1300G story at the ecoustics' website. https://www.ecoustics.com/products/technics-sl-1300g-turntable/

Exclusive tour at Technics today! First listen to the SL-1300G Turntable with SC-CX700 Active Wireless Speakers.


Is the Technics SL-1300G Turntable worth the uptick in price to $3,299? Based on our initial listening impressions — even better than we could have hoped. The only limitation might be the cartridge you install.

New Technics SC-CX700 Active Wireless Speakers for $2,999 USD. Not a Class D amplifier and also includes a rather high quality Technics MM phono stage. 

Also on display was the Technics’ SL-1200M7B Lamborghini Edition first unveiled at High End Munich 2024 making its North American debut at Panasonic North America HQ in Newark, NJ.

Vinyl is back! Add a turntable to your Sonos System

Vinyl is back!

Many people still have vinyl records that they no longer play and some of that great music is still not available on CD or todays streaming music services.  If it is older music from the 50s and earlier it may never have made it to CD.  Vinyl is back- both older artist's albums and today's new music is available so why not add a quality turntable to your Sonos system? Fun!

VinylPlay turntables gives music fans a best-of-both-worlds solution: an excellent record player that's easy to use and can be simply integrated into a modern streaming system such as Sonos.  VinylPlay's integrated analogue-to-digital converter and phono amp makes it simple to connect up to a wide range of modern music systems. For example, you can plug it straight into active/powered speakers to create an instant system. VinylPlay also works with conventional hi-fi and AV systems and if you want to enjoy your records in every room, you can easily connect it into a SONOS system. VinylPlay can be connected directly to the SONOS PLAY:5 speaker, or into a SONOS CONNECT/CONNECT AMP, and onto any speaker on the network!  Enjoy your vinyl records in any Sonos room or zone!  Unlike inferior 'USB' turntables that can damage precious records, VinylPlay uses high-quality components, which also means better-quality sound. VinylPlay is a true hi-fi product - precision made in the UK - but with none of the fiddle or fuss of 'audiophile' turntables. VinylPlay is easy to use - a quick-start guide on the platter will have you set up in seconds; you're only minutes away from music when you open the box! Its sleek, monochrome design - which matches the black and white of SONOS speakers - is kept protected and clean by VinylPlay 's clear, hinged lid. VinylPlay is brought to you by Flexson, the British specialist in high-quality accessories for SONOS.
