The Big Technics Room | High End 2022

Technics SL-100C Direct-Drive Turntable | NEWS

One of my great pleasures in this hobby, at least over the last few years, is totally eating crow over my old comments about Technics and direct-drive turntables. Yes, I’ve come around to loving Technics turntables. And while there was a time when I wouldn’t get excited about visiting the big Technics room at High End 2022 in Munich, I made a bee-line straight for Panasonic at the show.

One of the biggest reasons to visit the big Technics room was to catch a glimpse of my secret crush, the $19,000 Technics SL-1000R turntable, the crown jewel of Panasonic. This time, the SL-1000R featured an option for a second arm–this time a big SME. The SR-1000 fronted the premiere Technics system including the SU-R1000 integrated amplifier ($9,500) and the SB-G90 loudspeakers ($3,750 pr USD).

This was every bit a high-end audio system, offering a superb balance and plenty of detail and a supremely confident and composed presence in the groove. Sensational.
