![]() Directly comparing this turntable to the original shows a complete lack of understanding in this new design and a lack of respect to its engineers and the engineering applied. This deck had no choice but to look like the original SL-1200.įinally, there is one more reason to put distance between the ‘G’ and older 1200 designs. Technics could not afford to ignore this goldmine of exposure. The only reason(s) Technics retained the basic size, shape and chassis furniture – in my strong opinion – was to cash in on the legend, to show a friendly and acceptable design face that exploits decades of free press and marketing, to cash in on the excitable media who were having orgasms because they saw the classic DJ turntable returning to the fold (apart from a flurry of hi-fi newsprint, no-one would have cared that much if Technics had offered a brand new chassis shape, no-one would have written more than a paragraph or two about it in the lifestyle press). Unless you’re a famous DJ and Technics has given you one for free. It might look like a DJ tool and you might even be foolish to use it as such but really, that would be very silly indeed and an overkill in the extreme. And stop comparing the original design’s price with the price of this model. And stop comparing it to the original model too. OK, look, let’s race to the point here and get a few things straight.įirstly, the SL-1200G is not a DJ deck. Paul Rigby reviews the Technics SL-1200G and is made aware of a few home truths ![]()
