EISA TURNTABLE

When Technics relaunched its iconic SL-1200 turntable three years ago, its brilliant build and superlative sound caused a sensation. This latest SL-1200GR version is designed to offer value-conscious vinylistas most of this in a far more affordable package. The updated version of the company’s legendary quartz-locked direct-drive system keeps better speed than a Swiss watch, and the deck’s aluminium base soaks up vibration like a sponge. The S-shaped tonearm is robust, a joy to cue and deserves a good pick-up cartridge. The result is a gutsy sound that’s solid as a rock, with bold images and plenty of detail. It’s a great way to spin your precious vinyl.
