Technics just announced the Grand Class SL-1200GR turntable at CES 2017. It’s basically just a slightly adjusted version of the SL-1200G that they announced last year.
Vinyl enthusiasts were hoping that this would be a budget model, but that might not be the case at all. Technics has yet to release any official pricing information, yet Gizmodo is reporting that the price should come in around $2,000 (compared to the $4,000 model announced last year).
If the new “budget” Technics deck is seriously going to cost two grand, I think it’s safe to say that the real Technics is dead (again).
Every DJ on the planet wants the Technics SL-1200 MK2.
