SL-1200G Direct Drive Turntable
The turntable. Gives his record collection a reason to exist.
The SL-1200 is the most famous turntable ever built and the G is the reissue done properly — coreless direct drive, magnesium tonearm, built to outlive everyone in the room. For the man who has been buying vinyl and playing it on something inadequate, this closes the loop.
Our rating
4.8 out of 5
The turntable — direct drive, coreless motor, and built to a standard that gives a record collection a reason to exist. Technics rebuilt this properly rather than trading on the name. It needs a cartridge and a phono stage; budget accordingly.
