stevoz Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Paul Rigby talks to Technics’ Jonathan Danbury about the new SL-1000R (Bristol Sound and Vision Show) https://theaudiophileman.com/sound-vision-2018-technics/
Tweaky Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 There is a review in this months [June 2018] HiFi News and Record review of the Technics SL-1000R TT ...Air Frieghted copies are available at some news agencies now. Seems the price might be higher than originally quoted, as they have it listed in the mag as £20k, but that is fitted with the as tested Technics arm, which is a slightly longer and higher spece'd version of the arm fitted to the SL-1200G. Interesting to find out that there are 4 different torque settings the owner can adjust, and rotational speed can be set with two decimal places of +/- 16%
metal beat Posted May 30, 2018 Author Posted May 30, 2018 Interesting new after market plinth by renown Acoustand in the UK. Quite a bit more expensive than what he has ever done, but quite a bit cheaper than the Technics plinth where you have to buy the tonearm. Even fits the SP10mk2 and 3. https://www.acoustand.co.uk/collections/acoustand-technics-sp10-series-plinths/products/acoustand-technics-sp10r-plinth-system-new-for-2018 1
metal beat Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) http://fidelisanalog.com/2018/10/11/intimate-with-the-sp-10r/ summary: Quote I’m not one for the purple prose of audio reviews. Sorry to let you down. However, I doubt my subjective observations bear much relevance to anyone else. I will say I could happily live with a 10R as my one ‘table. Shiny, new, warranty, and performs great. What’s not to like? Would I trade a MK3 for a 10R? Not a chance. While objective measurements of the 10R are the slightest bit better than the MK3, I think the MK3 is a higher-caliber unit. Beefier components, better machining, and better industrial design; even if the control unit is dated. It’s a brute. Edited October 13, 2018 by metal beat
