“Which sounds better?” The Technics SL-2000 is a series of direct-drive turntables for the consumer market. It was produced from 1976 to 1978.

This series of adverts was issued in 1977 by Matsushita Electric / Panasonic, promoting consumer-oriented audio equipment made under their Technics brand. They pair two typefaces with flared stem endings, Albertus and Optima. Technics ads used this combination already in 1976.
