The Kenwood Trio L-07D is a reference-grade direct-drive turntable renowned for its extraordinary speed stability, engineering solidity and exceptionally low resonance design, delivering a deeply controlled and highly musical analogue performance.
Discover the wonderful Kenwood/Trio L-07D turntable. A wonder of engineering and design.
T
he L-07D doesn't need any introduction to the turntable 'Hall of Fame'. Alongside the greatest Technics and J.C.Verdier decks, the L-07D stands out on par and just as remarkable. My previous turntable was Thorens TD-124 MKII which I was in position for nearly 10 years. It was fully refurbished by Schopper and the sound was sublime.
Running with an SPU GT with an SME 3009 it really rocked. Well, things changed and I decided I really wanted to finally get my hands on an L-07D.
When one came on the market I snapped it up and after a full service, I'm really glad I did. The Trio/Kenwood L-07D turntable has always sparked my interest.
I first saw one in a magazine back in the mid-90s' and I was always impressed with its design. Not only that but the fact that it was made around the late '70s and mid-'80s.
