Customer reviews Technics SL-1200GR2ES
Antonio
I received the Technics SL-1210GR2 turntable and I must say the experience was simply extraordinary, in every respect.
Let's start with the product: the SL-1210GR2 is a masterpiece. Extremely solid construction, incredible precision, and a sound quality that truly leaves you speechless. As soon as you put it into operation, you immediately notice the attention to detail and the Technics philosophy: everything is perfectly balanced, smooth, stable. The sound is clean, dynamic, with a depth that brings out every single groove of the vinyl. It's one of those products that makes you want to listen to your entire collection all over again.
But what made this experience even more memorable was the seller, HomeCineSolutions. Truly exceptional. Super fast shipping, impeccable packaging, and the utmost attention to the customer. But the real strength is the customer service: helpful, friendly, and above all knowledgeable. They respond with precision and passion, making you feel supported at every stage of the purchase.
In a market where you often feel like just a number, here you sense a genuine care for the customer. A perfect combination of a top-tier product and a service that truly makes a difference.
A more than positive experience — highly recommended!

Ho ricevuto il giradischi Technics SL-1210GR2 e devo dire che l’esperienza è stata semplicemente straordinaria, sotto ogni punto di vista.
Partiamo dal prodotto: il SL-1210GR2 è un capolavoro. Costruzione solidissima, precisione incredibile e una qualità sonora che lascia davvero senza parole. Appena messo in funzione si percepisce immediatamente la cura nei dettagli e la filosofia Technics: tutto è perfettamente bilanciato, fluido, stabile. Il suono è pulito, dinamico, con una profondità che valorizza ogni singolo solco del vinile. È uno di quei prodotti che ti fanno venire voglia di riascoltare tutta la tua collezione da capo.
Ma ciò che ha reso questa esperienza ancora più memorabile è stato il venditore, HomeCineSolutions. Davvero eccezionali. Spedizione rapidissima, imballaggio impeccabile e massima attenzione al cliente. Ma il vero punto di forza è il servizio clienti: disponibili, cordiali e soprattutto competenti. Rispondono con precisione e passione, facendoti sentire seguito in ogni fase dell’acquisto.
In un mercato dove spesso si è solo numeri, qui si percepisce un’attenzione autentica verso il cliente. Un mix perfetto tra prodotto di altissimo livello e un servizio che fa davvero la differenza.
Esperienza più che positiva, assolutamente consigliati!

you immediately notice the build quality. very beautiful, and with the Ortofon 2M Black my records are coming back to life, even if I think the discs could really use a good cleaning.
delighted...

Excellente qualité avec un net avantage au niveau de la restitution audio

In general, it's fine, but the lifting arm is a bit fragile compared to the rest of the device. The supplied cinch cable is of cheap quality. My Rega RB 700 is of much better quality than the Technics one, but changing the cartridge is a delicate operation with the Rega, which is why I bought the Technics, as it allows for easy testing of another cartridge.

En général, ça va, le bras de levage est un peu fragile comparé au reste de l'appareil. Le câble cinch fourni est de qualité bon marché. Mon Rega RB 700 est de bien meilleure qualité que celui de la Technics, mais changer de cellule est une opération délicate avec le Rega, d'où l'achat de la Technics, qui permet de tester facilement une autre cellule.

Produit de qualité.

The Technics SL-1210GR2EK turntable is perfect for me; sleek and elegant, very stable and well-insulated from vibrations, instant platter start, perfectly consistent speed (and adjustable if needed), protective cover. Exudes quality.

La platine Technics SL-1210GR2EK est parfaite pour moi; sobre et élégante, très stable et bien isolée des vibrations, démarrage instantané du plateau, vitesse parfaitement régulière (et réglable si besoin), couvercle de protection. Respire la qualité.

Superb turntable. Very stable rotation, I immediately noticed a significant improvement in sound quality using the same cartridge as on my old turntable. It is very well built. The only downside is the tonearm lever, which takes some getting used to and needs proper adjustment, but that doesn't stop it from earning 5 stars.

Superbe platine. Rotation très stable, j'ai tout de suite remarqué une nette amélioration de la qualité du son avec la même cellule que sur mon ancienne platine. Elle est très bien construite. Le seul point négatif est le levier du bras qu'il faut s'y habituer et bien régler, mais ça n'empêche pas les 5 étoiles.

Pros :
- The turntable looks and sounds pretty well
- It seems robust
- the low frequencies are extended (at least more extended than the Clearaudio Concept that I have also) producing goo bass response
- the headshell is a plus
- with the MC cartridges works really well (Hana, AudioTechnica)
Cons :
- I am not sure if this can be considered an issue, but I find the sound a bit forward, like the singer were too close to you, more than my Concept, also it will depend on the dimensions of the room, …
Anyway, fully recommended.
-About her big brother, the sl 1200G, I haven't heard but I think it is not worth it to spend 4.5K euros, while this offers a huge quality at half price

Superb Technics 1200GR2 turntables, though I do have a complaint about the lack of sturdiness in the tonearm lever, and the on/off button could also be of better quality.

Superbe platines technics 1200GR2 je reproche quand même manque de solidité sur le levier de bras, et le bouton on off qui pourrait être de meilleur qualité également.
Cedric
Perfect, sturdy, easy to set up and use, and great sound quality. Replaces a REGA P3-24 as the main turntable. Not a fan of the tonearm lift, though.

Parfaite, robuste, simple à régler et à utiliser et son de grande qualité. Remplace une REGA P3-24 en platine principale. Pas fan néanmoins du lève bras.
Ludovic
Serious craftsmanship, high-quality arm and mechanism. With an Ortofon 2M cartridge, it's pure bliss!

This is a very good hi-fi turntable that I can only recommend. Audio-Technica cartridge included: VM540. A true piece of precision engineering.

Voici une très bonne platine en hi-fi, que je peux que recommander. Cellule en place audio technica : VM540. Une vraie horlogerie.
Gaston
As expected, it meets my expectations. Really quiet, with a $150 cartridge it's already super accurate.

Comme prevu, elle répond à mes attentes. Vraiment silencieuse, avec une cellule de 150 euros elle est déjà super précise.
Michel
Replacing an AT LP5X, with the same ATVM540ML cartridge, I listen to my jazz records and the gain in quality is such that I am still amazed. This is a true high-end turntable to buy without hesitation.

En remplacement d'une AT LP5X, avec la même cellule ATVM540ML, j'écoute mes vinyles de jazz et le gain en qualité est tel que j'en suis encore bluffé.C'est une vrai platine haut de gamme à acheter sans hésiter.
