Technics (brand)
Technics is a brand name of the Panasonic Corporation, a company that produces a variety of electronic products.
Under the brand name Technics, the company produced a variety of hi-fi products, such as turntables, amplifiers, receivers, tape decks, CD players and speakers for sale in various countries. It was conceived for a line of high-end audio equipment to go against such companies as Nakamichi, but most of its home products have been rebranded as Panasonic starting in 2002, except in Japan and certain other areas like the former Soviet Union, places where the brand holds considerable appeal.
DJ equipment, electronic pianos and Micro Hi-Fi Systems are some of the Technics products currently being sold in the USA and Europe.
On 3 September 2014, Panasonic announces that Technics brand is coming back.

    Sony WF1000-XM5 vs Technics EAH-AZ80E, or something else

    I've always been generally happy with the sound (except bass, see below) of my Sony WF1000-XM3's but I get the odd dropout and also I fancy something a bit smaller and lighter. I was considering the XM4's due to the price compared to the XM5's but they're not much lighter than the XM3's so have...

    Technics VXU-920 Vintage Amp - any good?

    In inherited a Technics SU-VX920 amp last year and have been using it with a pair of bookshelf Q Acoustics speakers. They sound incredible together but from what I understand this is a fair bit of kit and could power a much bigger and more powerful set of speakers. My dad bought is years ago...

    Technics SL-D2 and SL-D3 over-active auto-return when cueing. FIX.

    If your turntable goes into auto-return mode when you are starting it and trying to cue it, it is usually NOT the auto-return settings that need adjustment. The culprit is usually the STOP button at the lower right corner of the turntable top. This is a simple mechanism that uses a small spring...

    Question What cartridge for 1980s Technics SL-7 linear tracking turntable?

    I have an old Technics SL-7 linear tracking turntable I bought in the early 80s but which saw little use after I got a CD player in 1986. It's been sitting in a box unused for the last 23 years as I never unboxed my LPs after a house move in 2001. It has the original Technics P22 cartridge on...
