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...

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...

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...

This deck is in every club and is used by 99.99 percent of dj's. However this should not distract away from the fact that this is a true audiophile deck with the worlds most accurate motor a brushless dc. This leaves no vibration as the deck is...
PROS: bass, mids detail sound flows, price, motor, platter tone arm
CONS: The table and platter have no weakness what so ever. A tone arm upgrade is a good idea.

I cannot believe some of the tripe people are typing. These decks have been around for 30 years and never been changed. They are the strongest in the world at any price. They sound amazing even for the price, with upgraded cables and expensive...
PROS: Relable like nothing else, studio grade sound quallity. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Precision of motor when mixing beats. Best Anti vibe ever. Best selling audio equipment in existance, need I go on..........
CONS: Signal cables high quallity but fixed.

I bought my Technics 1200 turntable back in 1989, and it still works great. I use a Shure V15 Type 5 MR cartridge on it. It has a nice well rounded sound to it. The only problem I have had with this turntable is that the ground wire fried on it...
PROS: Solid build, made in Japan, great looks, smooth and clear sound.
CONS: None, very happy with this turntable.
