Brand: Technics

The Technics SL-D30 is an analog turntable that was manufactured by Panasonic (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.) in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was one of the most popular turntables in its time, known for its exceptional sound quality and ease of use. The SL-D30 featured a belt-drive mechanism, a sapphire-bearings tonearm with anti-skating control, and a high-torque auto-start motor. Its matte black finish and simple design have also contributed to its iconic status as a classic piece of audio equipment. While it is no longer produced, the SL-D30 remains highly collectible and revered among audiophiles and music lovers around the world.
