Hello, I thought I’d find out something about all of the artists on this year’s Kompakt Total 16 collection.

There’s only one : The TECHNICS SL-1200 Mk.II Technics stopped making them in 2010 (from starting production in 1972) – but, there’s a new version out at just now (‘summer of 2016’, ha, summer, when’s that going to happen?) – the SL-1200GAE. How close to the original are they? Not Read more…
