Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
The SP-10R features a brand new, coreless direct drive motor which, in addition to the two-sided rotor drive system that was used in the SL-1200G, boasts stator coils on both sides of the rotor, for a more powerful and accurate sound."
"The heavy platter features a three-layer structure consisting of brass, aluminum die-cast and deadening rubber, just like the platter of the SL-1200G. By optimising the natural frequency of each layer, external vibrations are thoroughly suppressed resulting in a beautifully clear and crisp audio experience."
"The SP-10R also features a new ultra-low-noise switching power supply, which, compared to a power supply unit using a transformer, is better at suppressing unwanted humming sounds and vibrations. The power supply unit is separate from the main turntable, preventing unwelcome noise from being transmitted to the turntable unit, for a sharper and clearer sound."
FIRST VIDEO with SP-10R:
P.S. Should we expect $15 000 or more ? And the new plinth comin soon?
Power supply looks funny, but the design of the drive is great, i think we should wait for the new version of the EPA-100 soon. Good news the GAE was not the last turntable !!!
@jpjones3318 Damn, you're the man, congrats ! Should be a fun weekend... |
The SL-1200G is a bargain at $3995.00The SP-10R is for the DIY guys that would like to experiment with tonearms and plinths made of wood etc. This way you get to take advantage of the upgraded motor and engineering that will make this table a world class performer. You also get 14 DB less noise than the SL-1200G Separating it as a world class contender. The SL-1000R is the holy grail which gives you the upgraded tonearm and a precision matched platter etc. No excuses. It will outperform any SL-1200G no matter what you did to it. Period. There are several great designers who come up with innovative ideas and attain unbelievable results. I am impressed with Brinkmann as their engineering is beyond unbelievable. You can lock down the arm making it super stable. I also saw Kuzma at Munich and was impressed with what they do. ( I do not carry Kuzma in my store and do not intend to but admire good principles in design ) I also saw several companies making some attractive shiny gold polished behemoths that frankly would not fit in most homes. I hope this helps you. |
