The Hitachi HT-20 S is a belt-drive turntable popular in the consumer audio market during the 1980s. It features a simplified operation, including an automatic return mechanism at the end of the record. This turntable often came equipped with different cartridges, notably the Hitachi MT-35 and MT-15 MM cartridges, which require a tracking force of 2.0±0.5g. Typical specifications for the turntable may include a speed range of 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, providing versatility for various vinyl records. Users have reported the need for maintenance to ensure smooth operation, including cleaning and greasing of the auto-return mechanism, replacing belts, and finding compatible replacement styluses. The HT-20 S is often appreciated for its aesthetic appeal, with a plastic plinth that can be polished to maintain its look.
