The Mike New High Precision Bearing for the Technics SL1200 Series Turntable

If you own a Technics SL series turntable and run it as an audiophile deck (not a DJ deck) then this is a must have up-grade. A precision machined bearing for the SL1200 series of turntables now available shipped from the UK. Full details are on the MCRU website. To get the best sound quality from your “Techy” the bearing is a must have up-grade, rock solid bass and improved stereo imaging are just part of the improvements you will hear.

There isn’t really anything MCRU cannot offer to fully pimp up your Techy, we are authorized dealer for Jelco, Oyaide, Furutech, Stillpoints and many other top brands that manufacture some truly excellent accessories to get the best out of your Techy.

I have first hand experience of many of the tips and tweaks for analogue replay, having owned a Techy for over 20 years, I currently own 4 so I am well placed to advise you on the best way forward if you are just starting out on the up-grade path.

Please do not think that up-grading an SL1200/1210 is too expensive or beyond your reach, it is most definitely not. The unique thing about this turntable is that each tweak or up-grade can be done on it’s own progressing as funds allow. There is no need to do all the up-grades at once and many audiophiles are happy with a few selected up-grades such as a new power supply and bearing or a new mat and feet. The Art of Sound forum remains the world’s most definitive source for Technics information and indeed the Techipedia is a must visit page if you are serious about extracting the maximum amount of information from those vinyl grooves!
All that remains to write is that the Mike New Bearing is a must have up-grade for Technics owners. Available on the MCRU website . It comes with fitting instructions and takes approx. 20-30 mins to install.
