As the sales of vinyls continue to slowly bounce back, Technics returns with another premium turntable – their most premium to date – the SP-10R. Technics began it's comeback in 2015, the company's 50th anniversary, when they developed the SL-1200GAE/G, which released in 2016, and then followed with the SL-1200GR, which released in 2017. The SP-10R is expected to be released in summer of 2018.

Technics is aiming for the world's highest performing turntable, and their parent company, Panasonic, stated that the prototype has the following features, which can be viewed in detail on their site.

A coreless direct-drive motor featuring a new structure
Platter weight increased for more stable rotation
Newly developed, ultra-low-noise power supply

Today, Panasonic unveiled the new limited edition Technics SL-1200 GAE turntable at the CES trade show. A standard edition SL-1200G version will be available later this year. This is great news for DJ's all over as there is a new Technics turntable on the market that takes what made the original so good and adds to it to make it even better. The new 1200's have the same iconic look and feel of the originals but they will have even more technology inside which will eliminate rotational vibrations for better sound, more upgrades to the iconic motor for smoothness, and a platter that has brass, aluminium, and rubber for even more durability.

We all knew it would happen sooner or later, but maybe just not this soon. The World's best selling DJ tool, the Technics 1200's have finally stopped production of all analog models in the year of 2010. So as the 2010 year closes out today; it takes with it a piece of gear that started it all (for most of us). A piece of gear that made it all possible for DJ's to do all types of trickery without fear of breakage or inconsistency. (Continued Inside).
