Canadian Made! I've had these speakers in my personal collection for a few years and everyone who've heard them loved them. They have a sound that is quite remarkable for what they are, it is most likely the design of the box and the aluminum 10" rear firing woofer that is the magic. The mid driver (Cambridge) and tweeters (Vifa) are fairly common. You can actually buy or upgrade the tweeters with newer ones. History: Now, this is all based on memory as I cannot find the websites that I used to have. But, if I recall correctly, the mid drivers and the aluminum woofers were made in Canada: Cambridge, Ontario to be exact. While I have not seen a lot of aluminum woofers outside Japan (Hitachi had quite a few speakers that had aluminum woofers) and Bozak (Go MB-80s!), Axioms is still making drivers from this cool material. https://www.axiomaudio.com/ Canadians have a short history with Speakers, many notable brands were Energy (Energy Pro22), PSB (Mostly philips drivers),

Here is an unusual turntable. I've seen and read a lot of turntables before but, I never thought I get to see one of these Hitachi turntables in the flesh. Why is it unusual? Well, how the bearing is designed. By looks, it doesn't look all that different from any other Hitachi or CEC turntables out there on the current or past market and by most assumptions you are absolutely correct. What we have here is the typical well made Japanese turntable of the early 1970s. It has a very nicely sized AC motor, a die-cast aluminum base that is set in a nice real wood veneer plinth, a good sized platter and a fairly good tone arm. However, unlike most, the bearing is designed differently. While almost 99% of vintage turntables out there have a "well" design where the spindle bearing falls/sits into a well. This Hitachi is the exact opposite. The best description I can come up with is that the bearing reminds me of a unipivot design where the bearing and "well" are
