The Technics SL-PJ44 is an audiophile-grade Direct Drive turntable released by Panasonic (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) in the 1990s. Direct Drive refers to the motor mechanism directly driving the turntable platter, without the need for official belt drive. This design eliminates belt wear and ensures precision rotation for accurate tracking and playback.The SL-PJ44 boasts several key features that contribute to its high-end performance. Firstly, it has a heavy, die-cast aluminum platter with a low-friction, felt mat for low mass rotational energy and minimal mechanical noise. The precision-machined acrylic platter flange tightly encloses the platter to minimize resonance and microphonics. Secondly, the non-resonant chassis is made of MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) material that provides excellent sound insulation by minimizing vibrations and resonance. Thirdly, the direct-drive servo control system features a two-phase converter motor, a steady oscillator, and a digital signal processor, providing excellent tracking and speed stability.Overall, the Technics SL-PJ44 is an exceptional turntable that delivers excellent sound quality, accuracy, and longevity. Its premium build quality, advanced features, and die-hard fan base make it a sought-after item in the audiophile community.
