No mounting, no aligning, no guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the SL-1210GR2 is one of the most sensible direct drives in its class – and here you don't get it without a stylus. The ironless coreless motor runs without cogging, the ΔΣ-Drive control further smooths the rotation: a remarkably calm, stable speed that Technics is famous for. Add to that the proven S-tonearm with detachable headshell. Instead of buying the deck and cartridge separately and aligning them yourself, you get a ready-tuned 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 2M Black is the reference model of the 2M range: its Nude Shibata diamond tracks very finely and precisely and pulls remarkably much out of good pressings. Because tracking force and alignment are already right with us, the combination sits perfectly from the very first groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set suited for? (and who it isn't – plain talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlain talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e this set is for anyone who wants the genuine Technics direct drive ready to play, without aligning it themselves. Honestly: the GR2 still needs a phono preamp – but many amplifiers already have the MM input on board. If you're after maximum flywheel mass and the magnesium tonearm, take a look at the SL-1200G\/1210G; for a sonically mature entry, 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 deck, a well-matched 2M Black, all mounted and aligned.

Its Nude Shibata diamond tracks the groove especially finely and delivers a very precise, detail-rich reproduction with clean treble and a stable soundstage. With good pressings, the GR2 shows what it's really capable of.\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 not, you 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-1210GR2 set at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause ready-to-play at HD Zürisee really means ready-to-play: our technician Mauri mounts and aligns the 2M Black cleanly, we recommend the right phono stage and deliver fully ready to go on request.
