Technics SL-1200GR Turntable Review

 

Performance Features Ergonomics Value

Way back in the May 2010 issue of Sound & Vision, I compared three sub-$1,000 turntables, including one that I felt was a bit of a rebellious choice for the audiophile listener. Over its nearly 40 years of production, the Technics SL-1200 series had...

Technics SL-1200GR / SL-1210GR

 

Reborn and better than ever. Technics SL-1200GR / SL-1210GR.

Unparalleled timing and grip ; Seismic bass ; Fantastic build quality ; Incredibly versatile

High asking price ; Slight lack of resolution

An excellent upgrade to the legendary Technics ‘table – but at a steep price.

Technics SL-1200GR hands on

 

The launch of a new Technics SL1200GR turntable at CES 2017 created a stir of seismic proportions, and we were the first in the queue for a listen...

Technics SL-1200GR Turntable Review

 

The Technics SL-1200GR, one of the greatest design icons of audio, is back from the dead and ready to play its part in the vinyl resurgence but can it...

Powerful and engaging sound ; Superbly built ; Considerable upgrade potential

Looks a matter of personal taste ; Supplied headshell is poor ; Many will still consider it too expensive

There will be a few people reading this who already own one of the three million SL-1200s in circulation for who the SL-1200GR doesn’t and never will make sense. It costs roughly twice as much as the last of the line originals and with the best will in...

Solid Turntable Built To Last

 

I purchased a pair of these Technics SL1210GR for DJ use as I run a small equipment rental business. I was comparing them to the old SL1200/1210MkII or Mk5's which are now being sold for silly money (up to £800+) most definitely not worth the inflated...

A great looking, superbly engineered turntable.

 

I purchased this turntable as an upgrade 2 weeks ago. A word of caution. Take time to set it up according to the manual. You will be rewarded by the fantastic sound. I paired the deck with the Ortofon cartridge. However I was hearing sounds on some of...

Excellent quality and performance

 

Completely blows the Pro-Ject turntable it replaces 'out of the water'. I replaced my system with the Technics TT (same amp set up & cartridge as previously), so much more detail, depth and music. Seriously heavyweight TT unit is of a high...

A article of great beauty.

 

This turntable needs no introduction or amateur review. It needs my approval as much as Eric Clapton needs me to walk up to him in the street and tell him that I think he really is pretty good on the guitar and to keep it up. This renowned turntable...
