Source: us.technics.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by musicdirect.com. The official Technics US product page (us.technics.com) confirms the Direct Drive turntable type, turntable speeds of "33-1/3, 45 and 78 r/min", audio output of "PHONO (Pin Jack) x 1, EARTH TERMINAL x 1" only (hence no built-in preamp, no Bluetooth, no USB), and a weight of "Approx. 11.5 kg (Approx. 25.35lbs)". The accessories list (turntable sheet, dust cover, EP record adaptor, balance/auxiliary weight, cartridge spacer head shell, overhang gauge, PHONO cable, etc.) includes no phono cartridge, so cartridge_included is left null. Music Direct corroborates the direct-drive design, push-button 33/45/78RPM operation, gold-plated phono terminals / phono cable output, 11.5 kg / 25.3-pound weight, and the current US price of $2,499.99. Neither fetched page states a release year (only 1970, 2016 and the 2026 copyright appear), so releaseDate and the release spec are nulled; the December 2023 / $2,199.99 launch-MSRP claim was likewise removed as it is not supported by either fetched source.
