Abstract: Technics, the Japanese subsidiary of audio mega-firm Panasonic and manufacturer of almost every Hi-Fi component you could wish for, used to be a big player in the turntable business. When the bottom finally finished dropping out of vinyl and the CD had es...
Rock solid build quality,An incredibly enjoyable listen,If you are a DJ, it has all the… DJ stuff,
A classic sign of a mid-life crisis, And of having too much money,
Technics SL-1200GR and its extremely close relative SL-1210GR - literally the only difference between them is colour - is the reincarnation of the classic turntable that ruled dancefloors from the soul-funk era through to rave. What might surprise some is...

Abstract: Es ist gerade mal gut zwei Jahre her, dass die legendäre HiFi-Marke Technics wieder aktiv ist und topmoderne Produkte auf den Markt bringt. Dabei verblüfft die Schlagzahl der Japaner, denn mit dem im Mai 2017 eingeführten Vollverstärker SU-700, neuen Stan...
Mit dem SL-1200GR senkt Technics die preisliche Hürde für das Gefühl, einen SL-1200er sein Eigen zu nennen, merklich. Auf die Kernpunkte der hochkarätigen Technologie des teureren Modells muss man deshalb nicht verzichten. Ausstattungsseitig lässt der se...
