In another sign that the digital age eradicates things we've held
dear when it comes to music, Panasonic has announced that they
will no longer be making Technics analog turntables. The reason
being, '"a decline in demand for these analog products and also the
growing difficulty of procuring key analog components necessary to
sustain production." Bottom line? No heavy flow of purchases leading
to it's demise. Everyone DJ's with Macbooks and iPods these days,
which makes you more wistful whenever you see DJ's with turntable
skills wreck shop on vinyl. We're going to go cry in our Guinness now.
