Additional Info
The Technics U25, also labeled the EPC-U25, is a classic forgiving MM design. Natural, easy vocal presence and moderately dense bass give it a warm, relaxed feel, while dynamics and imaging stay modest rather than sharp. Casual listening, well-worn records and budget turntables where smoothness beats resolution are its element. The EPS-25CS conical stylus is user-replaceable.
