Stereonet Verdict
Thanks to its iconic status, handsome looks and superb build quality at the price, this deck could find many new owners even if it was a less proficient turntable than it actually is. But happily, it also justifies its position in the market thanks to its fine sound quality. As you would expect, it can't match the excellence of its pricer SL-1200G bigger brother, yet it still delivers much of the magic for far less money. Highly recommended, then – just don't go confusing it with a DJ deck.
