[What Hi-Fi?]

Technics’ latest deck delivers a clean, punchy, composed sound, but the SL-1200GR2’s excellent build quality and ease of use are the true highlights.

It's always slightly amusing to see a "hi-fi" review of a product clearly aimed at the DJ market, but it's interesting nonetheless to see how you perceive its audio quality. For me, the biggest problem with using a DJ turntable for hi-fi use is making sure the pitch control is set perfectly at 0, which isn't always easy.

I don't think you'd have too much problem setting / keeping the speed of this deck accurate - not least by using its 'reset' button.
(And more accurate than many other (variable or fixed) speed decks).

Wow, thank you for this review! Feels very honest and unbiased with the pros & cons and the comparison with Rega. May I ask who wrote this review?

It's not aimed at the DJ market at all. Technics just retained the design. From what I understand the pitch is digitally controlled.

The original design is a DJ oriented design, which is what I meant. That's why it has a pitch control; for beatmatching.

"... whose superb handling of timing and dynamics" . Can you please measure these and compare with Rega P6 ?

These reviews are a load of subjective waffle!
