- Does the SL-1200GR2 come with a cartridge?
- No. It ships with the tonearm and a headshell but no cartridge or stylus, so you must add one.
- How is it different from the SL-1200GR?
- The GR2 adds a new low-noise motor drive and a multi-stage power supply aimed at reducing vibration. The platter, tonearm and layout carry over.
- Is it worth it over the SL-1500C?
- The GR2 gives you a heavier platter, a sturdier tonearm and lower motor noise. The SL-1500C is lighter and simpler; choose the GR2 if you want the classic DJ-ready build.
- Can it play 78 rpm records?
- Yes, it has a 78 rpm setting. You need a 78-compatible stylus, since the included setup does not cover it.
- Does it have a built-in phono preamp?
- No. You need a separate phono stage or an amplifier with a phono input.
- What speeds does it support?
- 33.3, 45 and 78 rpm, with pitch control for fine adjustment.
