My GR is my forever table. I’m low class trash though.
Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable?
I won my fantasy football league and have $4-5K burning a hole in my pocket. I am considering a new turntable to replace my OG Technics 1200 M3D. Is it possible to get one at this price point that can be the last one I'll ever want/need? Looking at 1200G because of the familiarity, but is it better to get one with easier future tonearm changes. I know audiophiles generally don't settle on anything forever, but I feel like a great turntable can do the job for years beyond most other equipment.

I would love to take home a GR and a G and compare them to the 1200 M3D. I need to find a local dealer who sells both. @ronribbonsyour your turntable is not M3D like you posted many times by mistake, it’s MK 3D to be correct. Any old Technics in SL1200 series will be blown away by new GR or G, no questions here, it’s a new coreless motor and tonearm, and completely new turntable (another level), your old mk3D was about $450 new 20 years ago , but SL1200G is $4000 ! |
@chakster, curious. The TT itself is labelled SL-1200 M3D, as I'm looking right at it. True the other ones had MK, ie MK2, 5, 7. https://www.turntablelab.com/pages/guide-to-technics-1200-turntables I realize the old ones are not on the same level as the G, GR. I'd just like to hear all 3 back to back to back to appreciate the differences. |
