At the 2017 Tokyo International Audio Show, Technics' CTO/Chief Engineer Tetsuya (Tony) Itani talks with AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer about the still in the developmental stage new SP-10R Direct Drive turntable.

Mr. Itani discussed the new design and how it differs from the now legendary SP-10 MK III. He also walked me over to a wall display showing all of the parts needed to build the SL-1200G. What Mr. Itani told me may surprise you!

He also thumbed through some of the records he and his team brought to the show. if you weren't sure if they were serious about vinyl, this may change your mind!
