Editorial Review: Product Description: Remember what DJs used in the club before the 1200s? Nobody else does either. That's because the turntable's heavy-duty design, vibration-resistant construction, and mechanical precision make a lot of what those early DJs did possible. This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control. With each new improvement, as form follows function, the Technics turntable has become a thing of beauty. From the community centers at the beginning of the disco era to the clubs of today, the Technics SL1200MK2 sets the standard again, from a tradition that the series has championed for over 30 years.

Amazon.com Product Description: The Technics SL-1200MK2PK turntable may be a staple among DJs, but its sturdy build and handy features are bound to endear themselves to all who love good music and hanker for vinyl. Whether you can't find that same purity of tone and sense of air around the music in CDs or you just have a wealth of music you can't hear otherwise, there are plenty of good reasons to invest in a turntable in the 21st century. In 1970, Panasonic introduced the world's first direct-drive turntable, the SL-1200, which was superseded by the now-legendary SL-1200MK2PK--the "wheel of steel" as it's affectionately called. The MK2, boasting a new look, an upgraded motor, and a separate ground wire, offers DJs the only motor capable of withstanding high-torque starts and record-gripping stops--the signature moves in any DJ's "scratch." As it happens, these features are also ideal for making pristine minidisc or CD-R copies of your favorite LPs or vinyl singles. With this 'table you can find the start of the track, wind back to just before it begins, hit "record" on your digital recorder, and let fly with the SL-1200MK2PK's sturdy platter. You'll hear no sound of the needle meeting the record, no wasteful seconds of surface noise before the music starts--and no clipped introductions when you try to cut it close by eyeballing it. The SL-1200MK2PK grants a 16-percent pitch-adjust range (+/- 8 percent from standard pitch), which is crucial for matching dance-music tempos and convenient for correcting the pitch on poorly mastered old records.

 Rating: - Audiophile QualityI looked into purchasing many turntables in the "audiophile" category. After doing quite a bit of research, I found the following information rather helpful: a) This turntable was designed in the 70s as state-of-the-art. The Technics factory had to tool-up to create it. The cost today would be in the millions to get a factory to begin producing something comparable. The market is simply no longer there to do so. b) The magnetic direct drive system allows incredibly ... Read More Rating: - Rock solid performanceI've used a lot of turntables over the years. My application is getting he best possible sound out of old vinyl, primarily for digitizing. I've recently upgraded my whole system for this purpose, and this turntable is part of that upgrade. This is the most solid, quietest, and impressive turntable I've seen. Unlike my old Thorens, this one looks and feels like it will last forever. Rumble is way below lathe rumble in the disks themselves, and the torque must be experienced ... Read More Rating: - Audiophiles - Forget about belt drive toys, this is your tableEveryone knows these tables are built like tanks and will last forever. Not many people realize however that the 1200 sounds great too. With a good cartridge (I use a Shure M97xe) this table absolutely cannot be beat for sound quality by any table anywhere NEAR it's price range. Go ahead and compare the rumble and wow and flutter specs between the Technics 1200 and any of the belt drive 'audiophile' tables under $2000. If you do this you'll find two things; most companies won't publish ...

Rating: - The industry standard.When a turntable remains the industry standard for more than 20 years, you should know there is good reason for it. A solid, reliable platform for any DJ's creativity. You don't need any of the fancy gizmos on the digital decks, all you need are these, some good tunes and a bit of imagination. Seriously ragged. |
