TRIO L-07D: The Finest Direct Drive Turntable Ever Made?

In this insightful video, Ryan takes a closer look at the legendary TRIO L-07D, exploring what makes it such a special design, why it still stands at the very top of direct drive engineering, and how its construction, motor system, and isolation place it in a class of its own.

The TRIO L-07D is widely regarded as one of the finest direct drive turntables ever produced, and for good reason. From its massive non-resonant plinth to its quartz-locked direct drive motor & stunning tonearm design, the L-07D represents a no-compromise approach to vinyl playback, built during a golden era when engineering excellence mattered more than cost.

At MasterSounds, we spend a lot of time with reference-level analogue equipment, and the TRIO L-07D remains the most impressive turntable we’ve ever encountered.

Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast, collector of rare Japanese hi-fi, or simply curious about what the pinnacle of vinyl playback really meant in the late 1970s, this is a turntable worth understanding.
