This is the latest and greatest direct drive turntable from Technics. Their engineers have used all of their know how over the past 50 plus years and have applied all of that vast knowledge to this new design.

Long story short, this is one of the most advanced direct drive turntables ever created. It will easily compete with anything in its respective price range and will run circles around the average turntable. The first generation SL-1200GR received rave reviews and the new and improved GR2 version will no doubt garner the same praise.

If you look at a turntable as a possible lifetime purchase, this is something you can buy now and literally enjoy forever. Buy once, cry once as they say.

These do not include a cartridge in the box, we'll include the tax on any cartridge purchased with the turntable and mount it on the factory headshell at no extra charge.

These are in relatively short supply, our website will reflect actual inventory availability in each respective colour.
