Just got the Hanpin turntable PLX1000 and that is pretty good. Lot better than this Technics. For wobble it is very small.

This I have seen on almost all the turntables that the cast is never perfect. But £650 you can't complain about such a small trivial thing. Reloop almost as good as the Pioneer. In every aspect is better compared to Technics. Don't be fooled it might look the same but it is nothing like the Technics inside. I was also looking for some time and comparing. Came to the conclusion that Technics is nothing more than name hugely overpriced.

I can't see any sign about it either. What I have seen is reviews by Technics fan boys giving false information. Beats me why anyone would go to the trouble and do it in purpose. Also there are lot of placebo effect going on with the Technics. But that said maybe there was something at early release but mostly good reviews on sold items. You have to take the reviews with grain of salt when today most have no idea. Transit can loosen the bearing for example and I grew up with vinyl. It is 1 minute job to adjust. But today people are up on arm sending the perfect TT back. To me it is not a fail. Just one example that people are stupid sometimes.

People who complain about the 22% price increase don't seem to understand that the inflation rate since it was introduced is 26% (US). Companies can only eat the increased costs for so long until they have to raise their prices. At least Technics have given us improvements even though they aren't visually obvious. I'm pretty darned happy so far with my SL-1200GR2.

Interesting that most people are missing the point that this is a Hifi turntable.

If the new GR2 PSU and control board could be available for roughly the price difference between the GR and GR2, it help us GR owners not get annoyed with the prospect of having to sell off an older unit for a newer one.

As an Aussie DJ, I love the Technics series of turntables. When fitted with say....an Ortofon Black cartrdge, they sound spectacular.

Using something like a Denon 103 can be a struggle to get enough head shell mass (or effective tonearm mass I guess) for proper control of the low compliance cartridge. In my experience, I added head shell weight and the supplied extra counter weight to balance or the sound suffered. I bought the DL-103 not realizing how low compliance it is and it sounded awful (noticeably worse than a N97xE or a AT-VM95ML) until I educated myself and applied the tuning above (yes, with appropriate MC Pre). Thought it was the stylus differences but no, for me it was setup. Also, it's worth mentioning something most reviewers tend to miss - the supplied head shell has a set screw which allows for azimuth adjustment. Mine was noticeably off out of the box and the micro-line cartridge sounded very unbalanced until I dialed in the azimuth. I'm not at all a golden ear but I do actually hear the differences with proper set up given all the cartridge and geometry fussing about for setup. I've since bought a bunch of head shells to experiment and realized after the fact most of the cheap ones do not allow azimuth changes - I encourage buying ones which do allow for azimuth adjustment. Absolutely love the TT. Mine did not come with a 3mm spacer as mentioned by some other reviewers, so again - the 103 needs one. The tonearm on the black model is silver not black - doesn't bother me - maybe just a variation on later shipping models since I bought mine roughly Feb 2024. Copied most of this from other videos since I see this info often missing.

There's a lot of terms being thrown around to make it seem like they've done something crazy, but power supply noise hasn't really been an issue and you can get a power supply upgrade kit for SL1200 turntables for around €80~€90. The delta sigma drive just sounds fancy, but they don't really explain what it does. Coreless motors have been a thing since the 70s and JVC had budget turntables which had these. My L-F71 has a measured W&F of around 0.02%RMS. When making statements that go like: "the benefits are enormous, I can't tell you how huge the difference it makes, it's insane!" it should be backed up with data, especially if the difference is as huge as you make it out to be.

It’s great that you appreciate the value of the power supply upgrade being nearly half of the increase in price that plus the metal finish on the controls.

My takeaways from this video: 1) When you start talking about packaging it really gives the game away that there's not much to be seen here. 2) The internal Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) in both the G and GR has always been a weak point of the design, but SMPS's keep manufacturing costs down. On the GR2 they've simply paid more attention to the issues caused by the SMPS -- vibrations and stray noise -- for which there is plenty of technology out there (especially from the medical and scientific fields) that they can rebrand as new and revolutionary. 3) Would be interested to hear how they managed on this upgrade, but would be surprised if it beats an exterior chassis for a toroidal transformer with umbilical linear PSU (off the shelf upgrades can be bought, but this can also be diy'ed). 4) Good news is that the GR mk1 is being reduced. I would expect the SL-1200G (which has exactly the same SMPS in it as the GR1) will get an upgrade soon, at which point we'll also learn about how noisy the PSU was... :)

Not sure why you drop comments on the upgrade like: "insane" and "I don't believe you", next to adults behaving childish, this is a rather confusing review!

Only 200£ more huh ?? In France the GR2 is 500€ more expensive than the previous GR model 😡👎

does it go +- 50 does it go backwards does it have pitch lock ? the Stanton is miles better. Ive used 1200s since 1987

are you still using 1200s ? as you say been using since 1987 , i bought the 1200 for hifi use as thats what it was intended for and have no complaints or need for the features i just always loved the way that they looked , it was jus by accident that they became dj decks and the most copied piece of hifi equipment ever made

Stanton is just another Super OEM deck.

@@alexhudson3574 I was a scratch DJ for a touring band and also a DJ, everything from rave, house, reggae, soul, funk to gabba. At one point I had 5 Technics, I did a few mixes with 5 decks. My set up for years was with 3 decks. Towards the end of my time with the band and DJing,( Im retired now), I switched over to i-phone with a DJ controller which was a revelation, I'll never go back to vinyl, no more jumping needles which was a major headache for me, no more feeding back when you turn up the bass next to loud speakers, and to be honest - the sound quality of vinyl is terrible , even a brand new record you get crackling in the background. Ive still got a pair of Technics, which I mainly use to listen to records before I sell them on discogs. The other good thing about DJing with a i-phone is that when someone asks for a request Ive got access to every song ever made,,and it fits in one hand,,no more heavy ass boxes of vinyl records

They need to make some improvements to the tonearm. It is the weakest aspect of the turntable. A 400 dollar price increase in the USA and no meaningful improvements aside from asthetics.

"It's not cheap but it's nothing in HiFi terminology" is a better way of saying: "You suckers are overpaying because you're stupid and believe everything." Luckily the people in the comments here are a bit smarter than your average audiofool.

Horrible review they kept interrupting each other !

2 minutes talking about cardboard? 😅

COMMERCIAL :(

I want the polystyrene, it allows me to move the bloody thing. I dont want this nonsense.

🤣🤣🤣

God I hate how people talk nowadays

nice table... terrible review

HaHaHaHa 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bit of color change and and has so silent power that it needs a filter.)))) LMFAO. The sad part is that the fan boys take this hook, line and sinker and pay for £400 turntable hugely overpriced price of £1700. Pioneer PLX-1000 for £650 is twice the turntable in every aspect.

Aesthetic Downgrade IMO.

Bla bla bla bla its an upgrade to earn more money😢

What a load of BS at the end, I’m sorry to say this.

My Numark TTX with USB eats this overpaid junk and defecates on this nonsense!

I use one AT LP120USB but feeling to upgrade to Technics 1200GR2. How much improvement I can expect?
