AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Technics SL-MA1 is a high-end quartz direct drive automatic turntable with two speeds.
Fully automatic with repetition, cueing, and search functions.

All functions can be performed with the dust cover closed.
Electronic anti-skating control with a manual adjustment knob.
Microprocessor-controlled carbon monoxide arm and infrared position sensor with automatic features.
For passing of the plates in 7" and 30" dimensions. Including a puck for single plates.

Effective damping of resonances and rumble through heavy wooden housing with TNRC skirting.
Straight tone arm with low mass, low friction, cardan suspension, and T4P connection.
Versatile display with LED indicators for settings and tonearm status.
Includes an original Technics EPC-P33 Audio Technica Carbon Fiber Headshell T4P. This component brings music to life!
From high to deep bass, everything is rendered in detail.

The case is transparent, has few scratches, and is in very good condition.
The wood of the cabinet also shines and has almost no scratches.
Because this Technics was intended for the Japanese domestic market, it operates at 100V.
Thanks to the built-in step-down converter (220/240V > 100V), you can simply connect it to your own network (220/240V, Europe).

As is customary for me, this top player was also thoroughly checked by a service technician for an extensive service appointment. The motor was lubricated and the shaft cleaned. Naturally, the player was then extensively tested, measured, and adjusted.

All sold products are carefully packed and shipped within EUROPE via Post.nl or DHL with Track & Trace. Different rates may apply for the islands.
