No mounting, no aligning, no guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the SL-1200GR2 is one of the most sensible direct drives in its class – and here, you don't get it without a stylus. The coreless motor runs without cogging, and the ΔΣ-drive control smooths out rotation even further: a remarkably calm, stable speed the Technics name is famous for. Add the proven S-shaped tonearm with removable headshell. Instead of buying turntable and cartridge separately and aligning them yourself, you get a fully matched unit here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder and calm. The direct drive keeps speed so stable that notes stand firm and the bass doesn't wobble – clean, dynamic, and pleasantly effortless. The 2M Black LVB 250 is the refined special edition based on the 2M Black – the finest the 2M series' MM family has to offer. Because tracking force and alignment are already dialled in by us, the combination sits right from the very first groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho's this set for? (and who isn't it for – let's be direct)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet's be direct:\u003c\/strong\u003e this set is for anyone who wants genuine Technics direct drive ready to play, without doing the alignment themselves. To be fair: the GR2 still needs a phono preamp – but many amplifiers already have the MM input built in. If you're after maximum flywheel mass and the magnesium tonearm, look at the SL-1200G; for a sonically mature entry point, this set is exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well-rounded, ready-to-play package: a solid Grand Class turntable, a well-matched 2M Black LVB 250, everything mounted and aligned. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, our technician Mauri sets the whole system up properly, recommends the right phono stage, and delivers it completely ready to go on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: direct-drive turntable (Grand Class), ready-to-play set with factory-mounted \u0026amp; aligned cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: coreless direct drive with ΔΣ-drive control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33 1\/3, 45, 78 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWow and flutter: 0.025% W.R.M.S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: statically balanced S-shaped tonearm (aluminium), effective length 230 mm, removable headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: die-cast aluminium with rubber damping, approx. 2.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 (MM), stylus: nude Shibata diamond (special edition) – mounted \u0026amp; aligned by us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono stage required: MM phono input (already built into many amplifiers), otherwise a separate MM phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: phono output (RCA, detachable) + ground cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): approx. 453 × 173 × 372 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 11.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: SL-1200GR2, mounted Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250, headshell, counterweight, platter, RCA cable, ground cable, dust cover, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included in the SL-1200GR2 + 2M Black LVB 250 set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Technics SL-1200GR2 direct-drive turntable and the Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250, mounted and aligned by us before delivery.

It tracks in an even more controlled way and comes across a touch more assured in micro-dynamics and soundstaging. If you want the absolute maximum the 2M series offers in an MM cartridge, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need a phono preamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsually not separately: the GR2 outputs an MM signal, and many integrated amplifiers already have an MM phono input. If yours doesn't, you can add a small MM phono stage. We'll take a look at your amplifier and tell you honestly whether you need anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the SL-1200GR2 set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause \"ready to play\" really means ready to play here: our technician Mauri mounts and aligns the 2M Black LVB 250 properly, we recommend the right phono stage, and deliver it completely ready to go on request.
