Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable

This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control. With each new improvement, as form follows function, the Technics turntable has become a thing of beauty. From the community centers at the beginning of the disco era to the clubs of today, the Technics SL1200MK2 sets the standard again, from a tradition that the series has championed for over 30 years.

Technics SL-1200 Owners...Use Your Head...Shell That Is!

bysam-pro Feb 14, 2006

Pros There's no substitution for a proper replacement headshell!
Cons Perhaps a little costlier and a bit harder to find than universal types.
Recommended it? Yes

OK...why write a review on a simple tonearm headshell? Well...the fact of the matter is that over the course of my long and fun run of being a hi-fi bug, I have owned too numerous to mention various Technics turntables. Although I have never owned the famed Sl-1200, I have indeed enough experience... Read full review »

Indestructible and almost audiophile-quality sound

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Simple to use, not expensive (by audiophile standards) and very well designed
Cons Some tables sound better, but cost thousands more
Recommended it? Yes

I owned one of these tables for a couple of years. I'm an audiophile and still like the sound of LPs better than any digital medium. The SL1200 Mk2 is an example of what a huge company can do at a very reasonable price point. Audiophiles will try to say that no direct drive turntable can sound... Read full review »

TECHNICS SL-1200MK2 Automatic Stereo Turntable

A die-cast aluminum body, heavy rubber base, and a lack of unnecessary components or empty space allow the 1200MK2 to absorb unwanted vibrations that could otherwise interfere with the sound. The 1200MK2's ultra-low-speed motor and high torque (1.5kg/cm) allow for super quick start-ups (0.7 sec) and stops. Allows for accurate quartz-locked pitch adjustments throughout its 16 percent (+/-8) range. Instead of just spinning the platter, the classic Technics Direct-Drive system actually incorporates it into the motor, reducing the number of parts that can malfunction and making consistent, accurate speeds possible. It's a system that has been providing fast start-up times and unequalled responsiveness for over thirty years. Wow & flutter 0.01% WRMS, rumble -78dB.
