no matter what technics is the best when comes to turntable from Cameraworld.com The technics direct drive table that you are looking at is a great buy for anyone. The technics tables have a great rep. from Target.com Pros: Offers plenty of great torque and accurate pitch adjustment. Cons: Things are changing in the DJ business due to new technology (CD's, MP3's). The Bottom Line: Technics SL-1200MK2 is a great turntable recognized as an industry standard. from Shopping.com Pros: Offers plenty of great torque and accurate pitch adjustment. Cons: Things are changing in the DJ business due to new technology (CD's, MP3's). The Bottom Line: Technics SL-1200MK2 is a great turntable recognized as an industry standard. from Shopping.com 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. from Amazon.com 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 speed thanks to the quartz-locked control, or varied with the pitch control slider. A green light lets you know when you're locked right on speed. from Amazon.com Everyone 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. from Amazon.com VINYL HEAVEN!!! This combination really does beat CD on my system, in "life" and overall smoothness. Everybody knows the 1200 is a great DJ table. With the right cartridge, I honestly don't think it can be beat for home use either, without spending considerably more. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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 and defined what phono turntables should be; affordable, reliable, excellent. In the 30 years since then there have only been minor revisions to the SL1200. from Amazon.com
