In 1982 I bought this new stage of his team origne U25 cell, the SL 202 is a Q Technics direct drive of the best raw, unlike her little sister the SL D 202's powerful engine is locked by by quartz and possde a double hung frame, which is his strong point, it is a system that floating suspension effective trs avoid any transmission of vibration to the plate, this system I had t dja used by Technics on other models such as trs rare SL 1401. Since 1982 I use this board rgulirement used audiophile, with various cells, is currently moving coil Denon DL 110 (exellente cell) mounted on the original Technics hull. Vinyls possdant passion and also two SL 1210 MK II still in use audiophile I would say that the supension of the SL 202 offers better Q rsultat the molded anti-vibration chassis of SL 1200 -1210. for over 26 years it runs without problem, a robust it is a great audiophile turntable that has nothing to envy to a SL 1200 MK II, if not the specific functions to professionals. The SL 202 Q is semi-automatic arm return at end of reading. on the MODEL stromboscope is to look pretty! as given that there is no possibility to vary the speed, this one as rgul quartz without pitch. look at it has not aged a bit, it looks fine lgant blends perfectly with any modern hi-fi. In addition both in the shadow of the SL 1200-1210 there a way to find in good condition has a trs good price! A master purchase!
