After the original SL-1200 was discontinued, Technics designed a new version from scratch with improvements to the original model. The platter is heavier with a brass top plate supported by rubber.<\/p>\n
There is a new direct drive motor system which removes the stator clogging, resolving one of the common issues reported with the original SL-1200. The digital speed control system more accurately controls speed. <\/p>\n
There is also a new SL-1200GAE which is a limited edition model. There are some differences between the SL-1200G and the SL-1200GAE. A different type of rubber is used on the feet of the limited edition model.<\/p>\n
The arm tube is also different, made from aluminum rather than magnesium. Both of these differences will improve isolation and reduce the amount of damaging noise entering into the turntable.<\/p>\n
The SL-1200 is considered expensive, but it’s a very good piece of equipment. It is considered to be the best Technics turntable that you can buy.<\/p>\n
It is well-balanced so you don\u2019t need to worry about it falling off the table, or excessive vibrations ruining the sound quality. The twin rotor reduces resonance and the sensitive tone arm helps you to achieve high precision to get a nice warm sound<\/p>\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Coreless direct-drive motor<\/strong> \u2014 Prevents sonic degradation due to minute speed vibration and \u201ccogging\u201d (slow rotation stutter).<\/li>\n
- High torque<\/strong> \u2014 Platter gets up to speed after manipulation in a snap. It also makes beat matching way easier.<\/li>\n
- Pre-balanced<\/strong> \u2014 Every SL model turntable is balanced in the factory to eliminate excess vibration, meaning they\u2019re show-ready right out the box.<\/li>\n
- Durability<\/strong> \u2014 A robust aluminum enclosure keeps the sensitive inner workings of both the SL-1200G and SL-1200GAE safe at all times.<\/li>\n
- Aesthetics<\/strong> \u2014 These things look immaculate. You won\u2019t be able to keep your hands and eyes off them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Price<\/strong> \u2014 As mentioned in the review, these are pricey bits of gear, but they\u2019re also total works of art, so the price tag isn\u2019t completely unfounded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
EDITORS CHOICE<\/strong><\/p>\nSL-1200 MK7 Turntable<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n![\"TECHNICS](\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41z1hTymK3L.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe SL-1200 MK7 is another take on the original SL-1200. It has a similar look and feel with great functionality. The coreless direct drive motor provides a higher torque and stable rotation.<\/p>\n
By improving the slow turning motor used on previous models, Technics were able to fix the \u2018clogging\u2019 that users were reporting- this is where the rotation became irregular- by removing the iron core.<\/p>\n
The gap between the coreless stator and the rotor magnets has been optimized which creates a better magnetic force and an overall improved performance. The unit features an improved vibration damping platter with iconic side strobe dots, along with a precision S-shaped tonearm with a Technics headshell. The cartridge is not included so you will need to purchase this separately. The digital pitch control function allows fine adjustment of the rotation speed from positional detection of the slider to rotational control of the motor.<\/p>\n
This allows for better tracking performance with greater accuracy and stability. The reverse play function creates new options for performance. The turntable is user friendly, with switches on the main unit for the torque speed adjustment, rotation speed and reverse play.<\/p>\n
The S-shaped tonearm has a reliable static balance and high-precision bearings which makes it perfectly motion sensitive and reduces stylus jumping.<\/p>\n
The stylus illuminator has an intuitive push-type structure along with a bright, long-life white LED. You will be able to see the stylus area even when you are playing in a dark environment. The phono terminals on this turntable are gold-plated which helps to maintain sound quality. They are easy to maintain as the terminals allow the power and phono cables to be detached.<\/p>\n
The aluminum is integrated with a material made from ABS and fibreglass. This double layer construction helps to reduce external vibrations to improve the sound quality. The spring and rubber insulator also prevents external vibrations. This turntable comes in a choice of a matte black finish or a smart silver finish. Both look great, and you can choose the one that best suits the rest of your equipment. It has a detachable RCA + power cord which is very convenient. <\/p>\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Coreless drive-drive motor<\/strong> \u2014 Highly stable rotation with fewer sonic artifacts.<\/li>\n
- High torque<\/strong> \u2014 Reduces slowing of the platter when holding the mix, which is a godsend for beat matching.<\/li>\n
- Reverse play<\/strong> \u2014 Augment your set by incorporating some backwards passages.<\/li>\n
- Aesthetics <\/strong>\u2014 The matte black finish is super sleek and super cool.<\/li>\n
- S-shaped tone arm<\/strong> \u2014 Extremely vinyl-friendly design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Originality<\/strong> \u2014 This turntable isn\u2019t a far cry from its predecessor, which is a little disappointing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
