Technics announced two new additions to its Reference Class Audio Lineup at this year’s CES – the SP10-R and SL-1000R direct drive turntable and turntable system.

The new SP-10R turntable includes a double-coil twin rotor-type coreless direct-drive motor with coils on both sides for a 12-pole, 18-coil drive, and high enough torque to drive the heavyweight-class platter with ultimate control. The result is a stable rotation of 0.015% wow & flutter or less, which is considered to be at the limit of measurement. It also comes with an impressive turntable platter with a 10-mm-thick brass weight, balance-enhanced with tungsten weights on the outer periphery.

Meanwhile, the Technics SL-1000R system features an S-type universal tonearm with a lightweight, high damping magnesium tonearm pipe. The gimbal suspension construction tonearm uses high-precision bearings, with highly-skilled Japanese craftsmen handling all assembly and adjustments to ensure the high initial-motion sensitivity to precisely trace the grooves cut into records.

The SP-10R and SL-1000R will be priced around $10,000 and $20,000 respectively.
