Technics Turntable Owners Club

Hello Gurus, In India, it appears the Revolver club is the only retailer selling Technics TT. With its reputation and my past experience, I am a bit wary. Do you all still think that it is safe to buy from RC? Looking at GR2 (any alternative?). Else I am also open to importing the TT. Would be grateful for any source to import. thanks!

I don't have any experience with revolver club but I can vouch for buying abroad. Getting gear shipped into India these days is a very expensive proposition, which can increase your overall spend by roughly 50%. The best option would be to have a willing friend bring your gear along, when travelling to India.

Purchasing from overseas and sending items to India is not advisable right now. You might want to look into the Denon DP-3000NE or the Rega 6; Hifimart is handling Rega products.

When I was shopping for a GR2 in October last year, I got in touch with TRC to inquire if they had it in stock. They said it would take two weeks before fresh units came in.
In mid November, I got a call from TRC informing me that the ‘tables had arrived. However, I had already imported one from Germany in the meantime.
I would recommend checking in with TRC first. If they have ready stock, that would likely be the easiest purchase option.
