The New Technics SL-1200GR2 | An Exclusive First Look!

We were lucky enough to unbox the brand-new Technics SL-1200GR2 - the first one in the UK!

The SL-1200GR2 highlights the direction that Technics, as a company, are heading. Straight off the bat, you'll notice a significant change in the unboxing experience, no more styrofoam or polystyrene! Technics have minimised the waste packaging produced with each new product and are heading for more sustainable alternatives.

We know what you are thinking, What does the 2 mean? Well, let's start with the beauty of the turntable. Technics have taken the SL-1200GR, polished a few of the design features, and produced a truly premium product.

Now, for the part all you audiophiles want to hear, What are the internal changes?

The SL-1200GR2 is all about sonic improvements! Technics have taken the high-speed silent power supply from their R1000 Amplifier and used it within the 1200GR2. An amazing new feature on its own, but they have taken it a step further! They have also added noise cancelling. The sonic benefits from this alone are incredible.

Another appealing feature of this piece of the 1200GR2 is the work on the Delta Sigma Drive. Technics have been working to minimise any micro-vibrations within the system. The benefits? They have eradicated any micro-vibrations experienced through the platter.

Obviously, these sonic benefits come with an additional cost, but we think you'll be surprised! By utilising technology that they have already developed, they have been able to keep the price increase from £1599 to £1799!
