All user reviews for the Technics SL-1200 MK2

When a product is simply the top, you have to recognize
Seeing to date a little flat in the "notation" of this product, I am involved in helping to improve its rating
What are you looking in a plate?
Robustness, reliability, scratchable at will ...?
Ah yes, there is no reverse button actually ...
I have my pair since 1992, I did say 5.6 years of parties, wedding parties as "MIDI" with .
I have carted in cars with comfort doubtful hundreds of times, they drank champagne, of course, like all the world (!) ... In the evening, the bulb of the spot you know that fart? The speaker that will turn off suddenly? The amp that slap in the marriage (I was not really proud that day !!!!!!!!) too?
I never had to just think about my pair of MK2 is simply indestructible and do forget so it's reliable
Yes, when we go in like a nag scratching, sometimes also the arm jumps (sometimes ...), actually ...

Here, the turning of a forum I D on the opinions of the MK2, so I'm with a mission and removing the blow mine
I had to have the bst time, I do not even remember so it was next toy ...
Similarly, the price of the MK2 has increased??
-> But the price of the MK2 is completely ridiculous for the quality it offers high-end, compared for example (although not really comparable) the price of a single micro high-end ... you do 3 weddings and your pair is paid off, because in addition it is one of the few work tools quickly refundable
There, I said what I had to say about it ... I love you my darling ... ... lolololololllllllllllllllllllllll
20/10, obviously!

-I have since ... 2003 ... they had already for 3 years after its owner, p't'etre more ....
-I like everything about it, even in his living room with deco, it's terrible
"I spent a year on pr106 bst to see if I could mix before investing in Technics, nothing to do, necessarily, it's like moving from a Peugeot 106 was a Porsche 924, and I speaks knowingly!
Technics-pity does that raise prices while manufacturing is amortized, and long, the logic would have wanted the mk5 apparraisse the price of a mk2, which she would drop off significantly ... be aware that 'there is a kit in reverse technics for those who find lack of ca ...
-Yes I would do this choice, it is the only lment never wavered in my team, no need to look elsewhere in decks, just the RCA has changed because of frequent disconnections, it is not death ... and think the oil drop all the Technics 2000h of operation, they say, it's not for nothing!

IN CONCLUSION I compare TECHNICS SL1200 MK2-1210 THE PORSCHE 911: TIMELESS TIMELESS tireless tireless .... SHE CONTINUES ROAD REGARDLESS OF OTHER AND IT IS RIGHT

Everything has been said above, so I'll just say like everyone else because there's nothing else to say, this plate is the bomb, here is the most versatile mix of market / scratch and no other deck can not even compete for the vestax mix and not even stanton numark not, why? because in many other brands have found the absence of serial or other concerns while nobody has a problem technics well except those who for 100 years (and yes the light does not work anymore ... what a shame) and technics frankly, this is the only manufacturer to have achieved perfection from the beginning, some find them ugly compared to new, but good reliability has to choose between life and beauty there is not to say my choice is made! technics for life!

- How long have you use it?

In fact I do not use more than 9 years (I found better) but I had for 5 long years ... Those who say that can not compete Vestax scratch issue, I agree completely, on the other hand Question ... er mix I laugh, Vestax is very far superior to the Technics on this point
- What is so special that you like most and least?

While at the plate, it is undoubtedly the very best, with a good pair of felt, the disc slides without stop, unlike a lot of decks "cheap" as gemini, and bst consors .
For it is a pitch against the infamous horror, not specific to one penny goes wrong all the time (when you see your plate instead of speed up slow when you have a% you will understand). The mix requires a +0.2% you forget, we must accelerate the other deck to enter a range of the pitch more comfortable on the other ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I tried at a friend of BST, sub brands such as FTE and others ... I soon realized the obvious: It would be better saved to buy Technics, at the time (1994) could not compete with it .
- How would you rate the quality / price?

We found new ones in Switzerland for less than 600 CHF (325 €), since they, like all the decks in general, outbreaks. Things certainly due to the practice of deejaying, which has become widespread. Before there were only discos, mobile disco and rare hip hop DJ who get them. With the advent of technology, demand has increased considerably ...
They are found in a time of good prices, if you're hardcore, do not hesitate, except the pitch, they are indestructible.
-With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Well at the time, yes, of course, but now there are much better turntables. The conccurents after searching for years to have the recipe without success eventually find it ... And then, wherever you go, you will only find TECHNICS, so much to buy, you mixerez "at home"
