Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable

Technics SL1200, Amazing Kit, Surpasses all Expectations.

It’s a common misconception that the 1200 series of turntables are ‘DJ Decks’. It’s true that DJ’s love them for the high torque direct drive motor and sliding pitch control but they were never specifically designed for that market.
Instead they are simply an incredibly popular model in the outstanding Technics SL range of turntables. I count myself very lucky to have found this stunning and unmolested example. Originally purchased as a jewel to sit on top of the rack for occasional vinyl listening, I quickly found that it could be far more than that and started experimenting with various cartridge combinations. Audio Technica are a great place to start for matching 1200 carts, several will do a fine job and I finally settled on an AT740ML, possibly a touch heavy but the addition of the auxiliary weight to the counter balance soon brought everything back into the right place.
I absolutely love this deck, I love the sound and I also love the torque but for very different reasons - I can place a record cleaning brush on it without it stalling! It also means it can take a heavy turntable weight with no effect on the speed.
I didn’t think I would see the day but my listening is shared equally between vinyl and streaming now, it’s that good, all my new music purchases are now vinyl, superb piece of kit.Read full review

Rock solid, great sound

My first turntable, but having read round thought I'd take a punt on an older model than a lower-spec new one for the same price. Gamble was well worth it! Even though it's old (30+ years?), it spins like new and is nearly impervious to bumps and bouncing.

Pretty much zero noise from the unit itself and good surface noise avoidance. Easy to set up for a good sound.Read full review

Classic Turntable

Great, and in my opinion, the best DJ turntable. I learnt to mix on 1200s and still love them. I always preferred the silver 1200s to the black 1210s but that’s just my taste. Sound great, great build, reliable, hard-wearing and they look great. Great, great, great! Got it?Read full review
