Technics SL-1000R | Price Is No Object With This Turntable
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- When going through the range of Technics products, we always knew the pinnacle would be this introduction to the SL-1000R turntable!
"High-end" doesn't quite do justice for the build and sound quality of the SL-1000R. Every detail and component is made with the goal of being as good as it can possibly be - no holding back.
The thought that went into this turntable is again clear with the customisable features. Technics made the SL-1000R to be with you for life, allowing you to update and tweak the system as new features become available without having to buy the whole product every time. For audiophiles and hifi nerds - like Joe - this is what makes the turntable so appealing!

Amazing turntable! So I just ordered a SL-1500C White :)
Simple, elegant and exquisite beauty not to mention the pinnacle of engineering with their direct drive motor. Now, I need to go out and buy a lottery ticket. That SU-R1000 amp in the background is a technological marvel as well.
a Dj benefits from the direct drive properties, but it is not the only answer for quality sound at home.
SIMPLY Stunning !!! Definitely an aspirational item but sadly, its cost is out of reach for mortals.
Tell me about it :)
Absolutely fantastic turntable, but an item of dreams, I'm happy with my sl 1200G and boy did i work my butt off to finally afford that. But it does sound very good.
Stunner ! and I'd love one but would swallow too much of the pension pot, never say never though 🙏 I own it's predesser, a lovely SP10 Mk2, in Panzerholtz plinth, with the Technics EPA A250 tonemarm and matching EPA B500 armbase, with on the fly vta and it is a sweet deck and makes me very happy 😊- I would only ever go to one of these, if I could 💫
Bizarre explanation by the supposed technics guru , so many other incredible feats and features of this seminal piece of kit
Worth it, if you have money. I have a 2010 sl1210mk2..bought new..which is quite good.
Until I win the MegaMillions my 1600mk2 will do,lol. Does the 1000R come with a live in helper to drop & return the arm? 😂
good question , now with evolution not even a mechanical speed changer ,in the future one will have a bycicle to make the turntable rotate it self ,not causing electronic interferencies, this with a rpm counter to make it spin at the same speed, for 30 minuts. I have a SL-1000MKII with decades of work and it still works better than most of this new wave of turntables released now and than(2010)
Interesting to compare this to modified technics 1210 with external power supply, sme series 5 arm, and ortofon cadenza bronze..
@@RUfromthe40s ortofon 2 m Black crap.... Once you've heard a decent mc... The cadenzas are overpriced my Audio Technica at 450 GBP is as good or better
the price is....above average but takinín account what i´ve see being sold for 1.000€ this is not at all expensive, i still have in perfect condition a SL-1000mkII and a SP-1 either than the SL-3310 and the SL-3100, still using 70´s cartridges and have boxes of needles for those cartridges ,in early 80´s in the city where i live there weren´t already needles for the turntables so my father whenever he went to Lisbon, Portugal he bought a lot of them ,also have complete systems by technics and pioneer also other known brands ,only in the 90´s i bought black components ,neither the ES Sony system i spent a fortune or the URUSHI pioneer system i bought after selling the ES system from sony, have the quality of the 70´s components i have at home , only some speakers are inccredible good mainly from Mission, wharfedale and Tannoy, all from the 80´s, also have several sets of speakers from the 70´s that sound incredible good, i remenber my friends ,all of them saying i only had old systems but not one of them still as the system they had at the time ,they all broke
Legendary...
My humble collection includes the following fully automatic old school Technics turntables 1. SL10, 2. SL15, 3. SL-M3, 4. SL-M1, 5. SL-V5, 6. SL-1300MK2. I'd wager the "entire lot" for the following challenge. That these two individuals on their best day couldn't audibly tell any of these apart, against this brand new $20K, SL-1000R overpriced behemoth in a double blind test using the same pickups. 😅
We accept the challenge. Bring them in :)
I was able to tell the difference before and after I upgraded my SL 1210 Mk5g (Isonoe feet, internal damping with dynamat, platter damping with epoxy, granite base, PEEK thrustpad). A turntable has to do two main things - spin accurately & steadily, and be free from vibration. This one does all of that and more so it simply has to be better, and therefore sound better. You can do a test yourself. Play an LP and have the output go into your PC rather than to your speakers. Then open up the soundwave in software such as Audacity and burrow down to see the waveform in detail. I have done this to compare bearings. What I saw confirmed what I heard. I am not suggesting you purchase an SL-1000 but rather you can do upgrades to your own TTs that do not cost an arm and a leg but will cost in elbow grease.
sorry but this new one seems a joke compared with the SP-10MKII ,built very cheap in comparison, and 20K for a SL-1000R ,i would prefer the SL-1000MKII that i own since 79 and i went to a technics dealer and they had that turntable with a new nagaoka stylus made for it but i was told it cost a bit more than 5.000€, 20K is it made of gold entirelly, the old MC cartridge would make this new one run for it´s money,it´s tiny ridiculous and comparing turntables with more than 40 years appart or if the SP-1 more than 50 and they were better built compared to the new SL-1000R wich is great compared to others being sold now but 20K it´s not real
there is the inescapable scientific fact that human hearing is only subjective , so at some point it becomes a question of how much will you spend chasing an illusion
Where is it made and of what components?
Is there a difference between the SL-1000R and the SL-1000RE-S?
sounds great with the 3rd Bad Brains album
great technique !
Stop! Who need today this plastic table for this crazy price?
there are a lot of fans created with the early designs, and this will sell a lot just on brand loyalty.
@@richardelliott8352 I don''t think so! With today economy situation people don't buy any thing.I am the Technics fan but this unit is ugly and way expensive!
It costs as much as a new car. It's beautiful but I certainly couldn't justify the purchase of this one. I'm using an old SL-Q3 with an Ortofon 2M Black that sounds absolutely beautiful.
I purchased this turntable and it only came in a cardboard box. No wooden flight case? Maybe reseller kept it???
Sounds very odd….. was it the full 1000? Not an SP10?
That is strange! Was it a new purchase and where did you order from I am happy to look into it for you.
@@kevinwalker8639 maybe not by airmail?

@@RUfromthe40s unfortunately I only have the information in the comment so I am currently unable to get the answer.
@@kevinwalker8639 sorry for late reply. It was the full SL1000R. Purchased from music direct.
For 20K I would want a more elegant cueing system ( like the old SL Q 202 ) than yet another flimsy cueing lever, plus auto return when it reaches the end of a record? Looks like they just put a brass platter on for the sheer hell of it, and then had to re engineer the motor so it would work, finally packaged it in an oversized wooded box to try and justify the price.
The only thing I take away from your armchair assessment is that you're happy with your old SLQ202, which is a good thing since it's cheap
I think the 1000R is a stunning looking turntable, and no doubt sounds stunning too, but I just think for the money they are asking, I would expect Technics to have given some thought to re designing the whole cueing stystem, and given it something a bit more special, rather than that same flimsy lever type one thats on near enough all of their other turntables. Ideally I would love Technics to take the design of the SL Q 202, and fit it with the internals of the latest SL 1200 GR. So you get that sleek design, auto return at the end of a record, and that nice slider to lift the tone arm, but with the superior sound and build quality of the 1200 GR, plus things like having phono input jacks, and power socket. Rather than the leads built in.
I have just upgraded to the SL 1200 GR, it looks and sounds fantastic, with a build quality to match, but I am already getting sick of getting up to stop the record when it finishes playing. I know it's designed more in mind for DJ's in clubs, rather than people laying on their sofa, but I havent found anything else in that same price range, that looks similar, is built that well, and has an auto return system, plus the seperate input jacks I mentioned earlier. A lot of the supposedly mid priced decks seem to have these wall wart power supply packs with the tiny 3mm jack. It just looks cheap, plus those things always break.
I looked at maybe the 1500 C, but reviews said it didnt sound as good as the 1200, and also I thought the design looked very plain.
Question is, can it match the likes of the EMT 948 or 927?
@@billdang3953 probably. Since both are high torque DD, the differences will be in platter damping and plinth construction. I honestly don't think there would be a lot in it (and there probably shouldn't be within this class of turntable, either)
Sad price, I bet it's 10g just for the box been added, I wouldn't spend 1000 on a deck let alone 18000, probably cost them £200 to make, I'll stick with my 1210s and the 1 stylus that plays all, vinyl is vinyl, they should have just released the gold plated 1210s again
The 1000 is a broadcast turntable.. And if u cud afford it u wud ditch the rubber dominant 1210 instantly
Not to be cruel, but…..and blind testing with a 1200GR ?
More money than sense who ever buys this
It’s worth it! Listen to believe.
AND NO Targetlight.
😢
if you need a target light to work in dark enviroments,it´s better to buy the SL-1200MK_whatever ,this is a hometurntable with it´s regualar functions similar to the SL-1000MKI or MKII and not close to the SP-1 or 2
Any turntable over 2K is a rip-off scam if a $2000 turntable isn't good enough you then you're not into music you're into collecting expensive items.
You're right I stop buying record since I found it sounds like CD. Each to their own if they still drawn into it let it be.
Yeah OK, whatever 😂😂😂
Why not but it it's better than anything you have
If I sold my TT I could buy 3.5 of these.. I wouldn't because that would be pointless.. This is not the pinnacle this on the bottom rung and my TT is only 4 steps up.. So please ignore videos like these
I highly doubt that even if every single component was perfect that it would be worth almost £20,000, Not in this universe.
Over rated by technics fan boys.
this is dj mixing table; sonically it's garbage actually. A dual 515 for $50 would sound better.
Although you might be saying this for raising an eyebrow, I will comment and will not attack you.
There was zero consideration in the design of the SL-1000R/SP-10R for DJ use. It was designed for reference quality high fidelity playback, and it delivers. The old 1200mk2 has its origins in hi-fi. The original 1200 was designed for home use, and DJs gradually began using them and even some other Technics direct drive models. When the improved mk2 came out in 1979 to add features that would be useful to DJs, its upgraded drive system came from the 1300mk2/1400mk2/1500mk2 from 1977, all designed for a good home stereo. The mk2 is better than its detractors claim when essentially writing it off to be just a DJ table. It's also not as good as someone people who proclaim it to be the be all of turntables. Even Technics knew that. Although its good in stock form, some upgrades like an external power supply, etc. can make it sing. I prefer a well modified mk2 vs a current stock GR., but not on the level of the current 1200G, which is a great turntable (with many transfers online made with one to give a taste of what they are like), but that is not on the level of the subject of this review, which is among the very best turntables ever made.
dual 515 still sounded better even with a crappy grado. trick was to fill the hollow of the table with putty. @@owlnswan4016
@@owlnswan4016 I have modified my GR and it sounds better than my modified mk 5
@@matthewtaylor7355 I'm sure it does...I had noted unmodified GR vs a well modified mk2.
please tell me how this improves the sound when it is the amplfier and speakers that do the buisness. this just spins the fekkin record
You have a very good turntable, so you already realize it has an important role in what you hear. Think about this...if you took your SME arm with the V15 cartridge (I love them also) and somehow mounted one into a Crosley Crusier, do you really think it would all sound the same as the SME/V15 does on your Garrard? Of course not. Just changing the plinth on classic Garrard like you have will have an influence on the sound. The mat has an influence on any decent turntable, and so on. Everything can influence the sound. Think of how small the level of the signal is coming from a record, and how much gain is needed from the cartridge, amplifying each part of the playback. That may help in thinking of why something like this turntable can make a great difference in the sound, at least to a person who is after what it provides. It's so precise and quiet, which goes a long way as part of why it's a standout.
I will have a vintage system with a 401, so I agree it's very good.
pish, a machine for tossers. $1000 whatever for a record player, oh shit there's a scratch on my record. I have a garrard 401, sme 3009 series 2, shure v15 type 2 tell me a better deck/ combination. had it for 30 years.
Garrard overhyped

@@JohnDoe-rn3jy just a 70´s turntable re-re-released
@@RUfromthe40s and so much more. It’s absolute precision!
@@aliixer i agree with you but the precision was one of their main characterístics in the 70´s , they stopped using quartz engines who were suposed to be better, but i have both Direct-drive with quartz engine and without and both work perfect with lot´s of use and minimal maintenance ,noise on the engine it didn´t appear yeat on any of them, regards
@@RUfromthe40s As great as the earlier SP-10s were - especially the mkIII from the 1980s - this is a genuine leap forward. There is a clarity and openness and neutrality with the current SL1000/SP10 that is fabulous. I have only heard a few transfers made with one, but even there it was very obvious Technics did an incredible job with moving the line forward. I will be having one.
