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 cartridge. The ironless coreless motor runs without cogging, and the ΔΣ-Drive control smooths the rotation even further: a remarkably calm, stable speed stability that Technics is famous for. Add to that the proven S-shaped tonearm with detachable headshell. Instead of buying the turntable and cartridge separately and aligning them yourself, you get a fully matched unit here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder and calm. The direct drive keeps the speed so stable that notes stand firm and the bass doesn't wobble – clean, dynamic and pleasantly effortless. The Concorde Music Black LVB 250 is the refined special edition of the Music line – the finest MM tracking in the practical Concorde body. Because tracking force and alignment are already set correctly by us, the combination sits right from the first groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set suited for? (and who it isn't – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e This set is for anyone who likes it especially uncomplicated: the Ortofon Concorde Music Black LVB 250 combines cartridge and headshell in one body – plug it in, done, no separate alignment. Honestly: a phono preamp is part of the deal, though many amplifiers already have one built in (as MM). If you prefer a classic screw-mount cartridge, our 2M sets are the ones for you.\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 Concorde Music Black LVB 250, everything mounted and aligned. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, our technician Mauri sets up the set properly, recommends the right phono stage, and delivers it completely ready to play if you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical data\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: ironless 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; the Concorde body replaces the headshell and plugs straight on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: die-cast aluminium with rubber damping, approx. 2.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: Ortofon Concorde Music 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\u003eConnection: 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, plugged-on Ortofon Concorde Music Black LVB 250 (body incl. stylus), standard 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 + Concorde Music Black LVB 250 set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Technics SL-1200GR2 direct-drive turntable and the Ortofon Concorde Music Black LVB 250, mounted and aligned by us at the workshop.
