Don't sweat the Technics
Published on 06/30/16 at 20:59Would DJing have evolved as it did without this turntable? So many pivotal developments in one unit, from the direct drive motor, the almost instant start time, the pitch control, and even the strobe dots. Stone cold design classic, though pretty archaic now I guess. That hasn't stopped then reissuing it, though I'd rather have a vintage model.01-k-

Published on 10/17/07 at 02:59 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I find that with this stunning platinum, the cell presents an inclination of a few degrees to the inside ... is something desired by the manufacturer or is it an anomaly and there enin he has a way to adjust it for the cell to be perfectly perpendicular to the plane of the disk?

Technics turntables will never let you down!
Published on 10/01/14 at 06:30Most of the Djs you can see in the clubs, consider the Technics 1200 mk2 as one of the best turntables a music enthusiast can have. If you are starting to learn the basics of this amusing profession, there is no doubt that the technics products should be more frequent in the learning process. The 1200 mk2 version was dealing with a few changes since its first release in 1972, and its developers have made a fantastic turntable, which became a trademark in the hip hop culture because they were using it as an instrument.

If you are starting to learn the basics of this amusing profession, there is no doubt that the technics products should be more frequent in the learning process. The 1200 mk2 version was dealing with a few changes since its first release in 1972, and its developers have made a fantastic turntable, which became a trademark in the hip hop culture because they were using it as an instrument. One of the notable advantages, is the weight of this turntable, which is 31 pounds. Yes, it is unusual for a turntable to weight as much as this, but it is a characteristic that provides a better sound quality since it is absorbing the vibrations from the speakers. Besides the marvellous weight feature, many users are disappointed in the lack of pitch adjustment beyond 8% and its developers aren’t willing to change it, even when some of the competitions were offering a better pitch adjustment. But, the ability to avoid any change of speed is on the highest level and the beatmatch will always be on point.
Technics 1200 mk2 is the default music tool for almost every respectable DJ today, and even if it is amazing for the clubs, it can still do an amazing job in the audiophile world. The people, which are involved in the world of sound and pay an extraordinary level of details when it comes to achieving the perfect sound, are satisfied from Technics 1200 mk2 and suggest it to everyone who has doubts about it. There won’t be any rumble problems with this turntable because of the quality creation and weight of the product. Every DJ would have issues in the clubs if rumble and instability appears. Maybe one of the most important parts of the turntables is the tonearm because it's crucial when it comes to having a great sound. Technics weren’t developing a new tonearm for this turntable and it is an outdated feature that is not a good thing for the audiophiles. So, if you purchase a second hand Technics 1200mk2, you will need to change the tonearm if you are interested in a better sound.
A creation that is built to last has never failed the people who follow the work of Technics and some of the characteristics can’t be found in other turntables. Having the ability to make a quick start-up with only 0.07 seconds, is an amazing feature to provide in the 70s. The torque motor is making a huge difference from the other turntable companies. The authentic moulded aluminium Diecast cabinet and heavy rubber base material keep the product undamaged. All of the vibrations a regular turntable has, can’t be found in Technics 1200 mk2. Today, used Technics 1200 mk2 can be purchased for a huge price, which is almost close to the regular price of a new turntable. The developers aren’t releasing this product anymore, so a used Technics is the only option if you are willing to have an excellent turntable in your home. Always avoid using Technics 1200 from DJs since their condition won’t be on a satisfying level. This is a very important characteristic for the audiophiles and for the people that don’t want to replace it with another turntable in a few years.
Pros:
- Built to last
- Sliding pitch control
- Designed for professional DJs
- Audiophile quality
- Absorbs vibrations
- Perfect beatmatching
Cons:
- Technics doesn’t release them anymore
- The second hand price is almost as expensive as a new turntable
- Lack of pitch adjustment beyond 8%

Why deny it?
Published on 06/09/13 at 08:51 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I bought my first mk2 used in 2005 to 500 € the pair at the time.
I had had the Gemini PDT 6000 that ran well, but the quality of the mk2 and regularity of its pitch are really unbeatable.
What I like most is the reliability of the plate, but also the availability of spare parts on the internet, even the possibility of refurbishing, even if they are in a state of disrepair. What I like least, low anything.
Given the reliability of the plate and its robustness, I would do the purchase without hesitation.41LE_PRETRE
The must
Published on 04/26/13 at 01:04 (This content has been automatically translated from French)How long have you use it?
Since the date of purchase but mk2 in general for 11 years.
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Gemini, Stanton, Vestax. Nothing equals the mk2.
What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The starting torque, the rate of flicker and flutter, the mouth of the plate (no frills), robustness, .......
No negative.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Value for very good until the end of its production price, today is another story ...
With experience, you do again this choice?
Oooooooo yes!31nxt
reliable and indestructible
Published on 01/19/13 at 16:06 (This content has been automatically translated from French)How long have you been using?
13 years
Did you try many other models before buying it?
yes but nothing works as well
What is so special that you like most and least?
pitch that is a + or - 8%
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
no problem because the strength is to go (I saw a pair ais spend the night in the rain and run the next day)
if the precision is excelente apart her pitch a little short there is nothing to say about this little jewel21hightower59

Published on 08/20/03 at 23:40 (This content has been automatically translated from French)The reputation of this plate is well established.
I mix on since 1995 Mk2 and I do that would change for the new model as the TECHNICS SL 1210 MK5G (Mk3 except pitch switchable +16 / -16, speed adjustment of the brake, and antiskating up to 6g)
the Mk2 have small defects in particular the pitch is not very stable from 0 to allentours and extremitées but there is no better turntable on a shelf dedicated to the mix, the arm S is impressive precision and eryrthema must do to get to nag him given the "games".

can t we talk about value for money? These are plates that are relatively expensive but good there as no better (even if the competitor are the feet and hands to equal there'll never get the stanton vestax etc. ... with 50 miles buttons and bizarre forms can be stored in the trash).
I told him my 9 out of 10 because for this year or technics declined several new model SL-1210 (the Mk3, the MK5G especially) technics turntables are even better and will for quite some years to come.See less002nee

Published on 09/17/04 at 02:21 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I use a 1200MkII for over 15 years, whether for radio, or even discothque for platinum is really gnial personal use and in quality.
Nothing else to say this is good. Attention to the occasion! Often not done in radio or disco. IDAL is a new purchase if you can ... Otherwise, I do not know anyone by the MODEL and more than 20 years of existence thereof.
Too bad there's no stopping car at the end of reading, or at least an arm back end of the disc in case of domestic use.01Anonymous
Published on 11/12/04 at 01:31 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Obviously big fat references. For the scratch is the IDAL. Touch and ultra-flexible prcis a rgal ... Unfortunately it's not a platinum finish, only a pitch of + -8%, and nothing else (and yet have the most expensive on the market ...) But beware the silent technics only brand to have the patent allowing him to have this quality of platinum, and this patent is prim end of 2004. The concurrency will be able to build decks of quality normally itch causing lower prices and a discount page technics in both these rates on the refinement of his turntables. The march is expected to explode in mid-2005 ... Finally ...00djgio

One small note, the DJ who used to lick the back of the cell for better contact shoeing can make a better chemistry, saliva as Coros, cele it attacks the internal contact of the arm and causes during the sional contacts bad audio, instead of using Vaseline to the plate not the girlfriend .... and also she does not like Coke or I Jonhy W.
