Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable

Get this now!

This turntable is the bomb. Period. Super easy to use, super easy to assemble, and with the right needle it sounds like gold. I would recommend going ahead and ordering a good needle when the turntable is ordered. I didn't and borrowed a mediocre needle from a friend and it sounded like sh--,...

Tell the audiophiles yours is better.

This is a quality piece of equipment. Many entry and mid-level "audiophile" turntables are nothing but MDF with a motor glued on. They reek of cheap, but they are the hallowed belt drive systems that supposedly offer vinyl Nirvana... after $500 worth of upgrades. Audiophiles sniff at the...

The Rolls Royce of Turntables

The standard which all others turntables are judged~! PERIOD!! Belt driven are good but direct drive been around for ages... Besides, audiophiles claim that belt driven tables are the best but??? Don't let that "opinion" stop you from purchasing this awesome TT...

"Night club industry standard!"

Suming it up, I would recommend this turntable to any disc jockey that is serious about mixing, and even for audiophiles its a quality deck to play those vintage albums on. I use nothing but Tech 1200s performing and probably always will !

The best, regardless of price

I am a vinyl junkie.There; I've said it. And for years I was in search of the perfect turntable on which to indulge my passion. This turntable is analog nirvana. Clearly, this turntable was intended for both the professional and home markets. The direct drive motor keeps the platter precisely on...

Still around for a reason...

Just use mine for playing records at home. Sounds better than a $500.00 "budget audiophile" table I got rid of. Speed is always accurate and steady. Everything's easily and precisely adjustable. Nice, rich, "unfinicky", yet detailed sound, "set it and forget it". Good isolation. Solid build.Got...

Super solid turntable

THis is the first new 1200 that I have purchased, but not the first I have owned. Funny thing is, this wasn't even for me. Was a gift to a great friend. Either way, the 1200s are great turntables. They are very versitile & can take the abuse of spinning, or just run on doing mundane vinyl...

The Ultimate Turntable

Occasionally a piece of equipment comes along that is so well designed, well built and far ahead of the pack that it defines the state of the art and any major improvements are not only unnecessary but impossible. 30 some odd years ago Technics released the first SL1200 direct drive turntables...

So many reviews, what the heck one more wont matter. For what it is worth I think this is one of the best turntables period!. i have been using a Denon 103 cratridge(in various fromats) for over thirty years and can say this cartridge sounds fantastic with the 1200(with added counterweight)....

I bought a sl1210 in 2002. I used it for less than 3 months with different types of cartridges, a denon dl160, a ortofon and a dj cartridge. with none of the cartridges i get a nice soundquality. the sl1210 sounds too shut in and the bass is very poor. the cartridges and arm were correctly...
