10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features

  • The ultimate in precision playback
  • Coreless direct drive motor offers precise, stable rotation
  • Heavyweight platter provides excellent vibration damping and rigidity
  • Separate control unit and isolated power supply suppresses noise for clear, high-fidelity sound
  • Supports ultra-precise RPM adjustments down to two decimal places

Technics SP-10R Reference Class Direct Drive Turntable Overview

The Technics SP-10R is a specialised component within a modular turntable system, designed for audiophiles and dedicated vinyl collectors who demand precision and stability. This is not a standalone turntable but an integral part of a custom assembly, allowing seamless integration with systems like the SP-10MK2 and SP-10MK3 and an unrivalled level of vinyl personalisation.


At its core is a refined, coreless direct drive motor, which eliminates cogging and delivers incredibly smooth rotation. With its twin-rotor system and 12-pole, 18-coil design, this motor produces high torque, easily driving the heavyweight 7.9 kg platter for ultra-precise playback. The result is exceptional rotational accuracy with wow and flutter reduced to less than 0.015 per cent, ensuring minimal distortion and pitch variation.



By separating the control unit, this system eliminates unwanted noise and interference that could otherwise affect sound quality. Using this, you can fine-tune playback speeds to two decimal places on its OLED display. The SP-10R also isolates the power supply from the main turntable, utilising a unique noise reduction circuit to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio and supreme clarity. Supporting 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records, the SP-10R combines cutting-edge technology with flexibility for vinyl enthusiasts demanding excellence for their collection.
