The Hitachi HT-68 is a model of turntable that was popular in the late 1970s. It features a direct drive system, which offers reliable speed accuracy and low wow and flutter. The turntable often comes with a standard headshell and tonearm, allowing for easy cartridge replacement. Its design includes a heavy base for stability, reducing vibrations during playback, and it typically supports both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records. The HT-68 also includes pitch control for adjusting playback speed, which can be useful for DJs or audiophiles.
