Technics SL-1210GR
The Technics SL-1210GR is a coreless, direct-drive turntable that reduces vibration and noise with a tonearm that tracks the record rotation offering unparalleled, high precision vinyl reading. Outfitted with high quality RCA terminals and ground connection the SL-1210GR also features gold plating for the connections and metal shielding to reduce electrical and external noise. Special silicone insulators support the body providing exceptional dampening and horizontal vibration is absorbed via microcell polymer reinforcement. Vertical adjustment of the insulators is available and exact horizontal platter adjustment is also possible to further finetune the vibration reduction. Technics were the first to commercialize the direct drive turntable back in the 70s and they've been refining their designs ever since: the SL-1210GR is the culmination of decades of research that is perfect for any audio enthusiast.
