Turntable £1799 whf.cm/SL_1200GR2
For most people, Technics’ name is synonymous with turntables, especially its direct drive DJ-style turntables. The renowned Japanese audio manufacturer pioneered the direct-drive design we see today, and the new Technics SL1200GR2 is the latest, fourth-generation model of one of Technics’ most iconic turntable ranges from the 1970s.
The SL-1200GR2 is furnished with the brand’s latest innovations in direct-drive motor technology (including using digital technology to improve this most analogue of mediums), along with refinements to a design that promises to deliver a better performance than before.
Brand recognition
The deck is recognisably Technics, and looks lovely. Appealing aesthetics aside, it also comes with the rock-solid build quality we have come to associate with a Technics turntable. Plinth to platter, tonearm to bearings, the build quality feels reassuringly durable and is of a high quality for a turntable at this level. The SL-1200GR2 model we tested was finished in silver, while a black finish is also available (designated SL-1210GR2).
