Technics SP-25

The last best example. Perfect in every way, except for a small nick on rim (see picture). This unit was purchased in the late 1980s from a local radio station. Never used, it was a "spare" unit, therefore looks and feel like new. Everything working as it should. I purchased the unit, dreaming of building my own high-mass plinth... which I never had time to. Now the dream can be yours with this very, very fine 120V north american unit.

Description

The SP-25 turntable offers a similar standard of excellence as the SP-10mkII professional units. 

Features include total quartz locked pitch control within a 6% range from rated speeds, full cycle detection FG, extremely high torque, a large turntable platter with high moment of inertia, electronic braking system, integral rotor/platter motor construction and highly effective chassis damping.

Quartz locked control means virtually perfect speed accuracy. But in most quartz controlled turntables, this accurate speed control circuit is defeated when pitch changes are required. 

Now, with the SP-25, pitch is variable continuously (analogically) under total quartz locked control.

Optional plinth units available in black (SH-15B3) or simulated rosewood veneer (SH-15B2), both of which are constructed from a heavy, acoustically dead, rubber material.
