Techniques 1200 g versus 1200 GR2 for small vinyl collection
My current system is luxman 595 class amp, Moon 891 amp, and focal sopra n1 speakers.
I have a small vinyl collection. Probably about 20 vinyls. I don't see myself buying love vinyls cuz I'm mostly just streaming. I want to get a techniques turntable because they remind me of the turntable my family used to have.
I'm looking at the techniques SL 1200 GR2 or the SL1200 g. I would get the ortofon black cartridge.
To save money I'm thinking about the GR2. Would I regret it and wish I got the SL1200 later? Would it be silly to buy the 1200 g when I only have 20 vinyls and I do mostly streaming?

“I want to get a techniques turntable because they remind me of the turntable my family used to have.” @dman777 And going with Technics hits the spot on both nostalgia and good quality. With about 20 records in your collection (I’d love to know what genres you’re into so readers here can make some cartridge recommendations), the mindset doesn’t have to be about building a huge record collection. It can simply be, I’m creating a small ritual I can return to when I want to feel music. |
OP Are you aware of hifishark.com Here is a list of Technics Turntables for sale, sorted by 'first seen, new first', https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=technics+turntable so you can jump on a new listing when an opportunity shows up. You can sort by price, you can put in min and max prices that fit your budget, limit the area of origin ..... to limit the list. I always put a max a bit above the budget, just in case a few dollars more gets something much more. |
@lewm + 1 - why do people go on to Analog threads so they can bash analog? People who enjoy analog don't much care what these folks think about it. |
