Technics - New Generation Grand Class Turntable - SL-1300G - Silver

Technics introduced the first direct drive turntable to the market in 1970, and though they took a break for a while, they've returned with an excellent lineup. The SL-1500C is an audiophile-quality turntable that comes in at a very reasonable price, and doesn't skimp on technological goodies for the serious vinyl lover. At the heart of this turntable is Technics' signature coreless direct drive motor. It delivers high torque and rotational stability, and eliminates an audible effect called "cogging" that lesser motors may exhibit.

The first stage of Technics’ next generation of direct drive turntables with an improved motor-drive circuit centered on the ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive), the SL-1200GR2 invites more audio enthusiasts to enjoy music with the rich, robust sound of analog records. Since inventing the world’s first direct drive turntable, Technics has continued to work to improve sound quality. It has now developed the ΔΣ-Drive, which suppresses minute vibrations from the motor and improves the electromagnetic conversion accuracy of the cartridge. The first stage of direct drive turntable systems featuring this technology is the Technics Grand Class SL-1200GR2.

As the go-to choice of DJs the world over, the SL-1200 Series offers the SL-1200M7B, a collaboration between Technics and Lamborghini that brings together the brands’ concepts and sound making initiatives. Includes a special-edition vinyl featuring sounds of five flagship V12 models, a custom-designed slipmat the Lamborghini logo, and Lamborghini and Technics stickers, plus the highest possible sound quality and wide-ranging DJ functions powered by a coreless Direct Drive motor.
