csgreene,
- do you have any evidence that Technics won't move production?
- why you are so aware about that?

Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
I haven’t seen this reported anywhere. Heard it first from a dealer and now have confirmed it with Technics directly:
All turntables, even the SL-1000R, are leaving Japan and moving to a new facility in Malaysia. Everything’s going under one roof. Technics is halted now and they’ll start up the new production line in Malaysia on April 1.
If the product is the same then that’s what matters most, but this definitely marks the end of an era and I’m sure the reaction will be mixed.

There is this announcement, which looks rather legitimate. |
@csgreene Hi, old chap. By now you’ve seen posters on the Hoffman forums corraborating my information from multiple dealers over the course of April and May. I’ll take an apology any time. You can do it now, or you can wait, but it’s the only classy thing to do once you admit to yourself I’m not some clueless idiot and that you’re in fact the one who jumped to conclusions. |
