So with some 6 distinct variations which model stands out. Generally as the models progress the better they have gotten but people always reserve opinions so rather than a bunch of hifi purists telling us that these turntables have too much vibration you people have been using them as the tools of the trade for years so honest thoughts on the best MK model to own?
OP
I have owned most model variants of the SL1200 including the MK5g, but the ones I kept are my pair of MK3D and pair of MK3. The MK3D to me is the best variant of all. The no BS 1200. The MK5g's dual pitch range is just useless for most DJs including myself. The MK5/MK6's anti-skate 0-6g range is another unnecessary feature that Technics have added. If people would notice, the new 1200 G/GAE have the anti-sakte range back to 0-3g.
Features that the MK3D/M3D I like are the recessed power knob, no-click pitch control (this can be done in older models though), reset pitch button, head shell slot. MK4, MK3 & MK2 models don't have them while models newer to the MK3D/M3D have those features as standard.
That's one of the few things I like about the SL-1200 MK2 over the TTX.Originally Posted by Nicadraus
I know most people don't like it. But I like that after I've transitioned a song, I can quickly throw the pitch back to zero & know it's zeroed.
But the number of US Supreme Court judges was always 6.
Then it was 5, then 6, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 7, and then 9.
And just to throw this in now this pioneer plx1000 I just got offered a pair brand new in the box 900 but a good second hand 1200 is about 800bux so for me the iconic technics of any Mk will stay the winner but to those of you still spinning on vinyl love to hear opinions very rare to see vinyl in action out in the stock where Iam lol
