Technics SL- Direct Drive Fully Auto Turntable - Mint
Technics SL- Direct Drive Fully Automatic Turntable - MINT condition and full working order. In full original order. Beautifully and robustly engineered. Getting very hard to find. This is a fantastic example of this sought after Matsushita Electric built turntable. I am confident one of the best in country. As you would expect this TT sounds great with a great matched cartridge and stylus with very few hours use (Shure M95ED + N95ED - these sell for around £80 themselves). Specifications: Type: fully-automatic turntable; Drive method: direct drive; Motor: ultra low speed brushless DC motor; Control type: servo control; Platter: 330mm, 2.5kg, aluminium alloy die-cast; Speeds: 33 and 45rpm; Pitch control: 10%; Wow and flutter: 0.03% WRMS; Rumble: -70dB; Tonearm: gimbal suspension, universal, s-shaped, tubular; Effective length: 230mm; Overhang: 15mm; Offset angle: 21.5 degrees; Weight: 9.4Kg In the revolutionary direct drive motor first introduced by Technics, the separate turntable platter rested directly on the rotor. On the SL- the platter is part of the motor; in fact, it is the rotor. The attractive base is no longer an inactive element used only to house the motor; the housing is the motor stator. All together, this simplification of parts and hardware gives the benefits of extreme precision with utmost reliability and stylishly compact appearance. The automatic mechanism because it is linked to this precise motor, is also exceptionally reliable. Refer to the Internet for reviews and detailed specification. Happy to demonstrate. Read More
