Where did you get that information from?Obviously you did not read my post. At the time, I’m not certain now, if you wanted a GR (I never mentioned anything about aMK7 or other TT) you could order any color from a Technics audio dealer that carries their audio lines (TT’s Receivers, amps, etc). However, the musical instrument/Dj shops only were able to get the 1210 Black. Before I purchased my silver GR from Value electronics, I called every major musical Instrumnet/DJ retailer that carried Technics in the country. Including B&H photo, Sweetwater, etc. Everyone said the 1210 (black) was the only model they could order or carry of the GR line. AGAIN, I never shopped or asked about any other TT (mk7, 1500c, etc). The Musical Instrument/DJ shops may have carried mk7’s out the wazooo in whatever color, the ONLY GR they could get AT The Time was the 1210 Black version. Again, I don't now who carries what now, I was giving the facts for back in 2018/2019
The DJ model is mk7, not the GR (no matter what color).
The SL1210 mk7 and SL1200GR are different turntables.
The GR available in two colors S (silver) and B (black).
The mk7 also available in two colors 1200 mk7 is silver and 1210 mk7 is black. The stock availability always change, no matter what model.
Turntable Advice Needed
I am looking to move my existing Rega RP3 to a secondary system and upgrade to a new turntable for my primary system. Current setup is a Plinius Hiato integrated with Dynaudio Contour 3.4 speakers. I stream via an Innuous Zenith server and a Lumin T2 streamer. I am extremely happy with the sound I am getting from this setup but think a turntable upgrade might be in order. Since I’ve had the Rega P1 and P3 my first thought was to just upgrade to the new P6. As I know nothing about the “sound” of different turntables I really don’t know what I might be missing. I’m not a big tweaker but just want something that sounds good. Spending range is probably in the $1,500 -$2,500 range and I will also need a phono preamp. I can be persuaded to spend a bit more but am looking for the best sound/value ratio I can find. I’ve read in some threads that Rega lacks a bit in bass but I really don’t have anything to compare it to.
I would very much appreciate any thoughts/advice folks might be willing to share.
Many thanks
