Pioneer turntable under development.

I also wonder if Pioneer have been keeping an eye on vinyl sales?

I think the hipsters who have driven this growth would more likely go for an audiophile type of deck.

tbh though ive been keeping my eye out for a cheap portable one, the ones that look like a small lunch box/ toy brief case that opens up into a turntable.

that way together with my ghettoblaster I can have a portable option

I'll stick to my 1210's

If like to retract all my previous statements, because I've just remembered pioneer made a turntable in collaboration with echo years ago. That thing was terrible but that's thanks to the belt drive system it had

I had pioneer dj-3500 tt's for a while. they also sold the same thing with echo branding on them, but pioneer never made them. they were an OEM type product, the same as a low end AA or audio technica product. They were ok as a low end tt and had very little torque funny when I got a bargain on my technics someone on ebay paid more for the pioneers.

Panasonic - once Matsushita (and National?) - originated and owned Technics.

Patents have since run out so it could well be a 1:1 clone, but Pioneer have never had any relationship with Technics.

my mistake bro. do you want to hug it out?
