sincity Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Legendary audio tech company Technics has returned to the world of DJ turntables after nine long years in the wilderness, with the launch of the new SL-1200 MK7 at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. Technics launched the SL-1200 turntable series way back in the 1970's, which has been regarded as an industry standard for professional (and bedroom) DJs ever since. As well as the reliability and robust design of its predecessors, the new turntable boasts reverse playback, a core-less direct drive motor to reduce irregularity to the rotation, and motor control technology to make sure the decks respond to scratching.

It comes in a matte black design, with a choice of a red or blue LED light. Although prices and availability are still to be confirmed, we expect there are a lot of very excited DJs eagerly awaiting more news on this modern-meets-retro turntable.

Ult1mat3X Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I just purchased a Uturn Orbit custom and received a Pho-8 as a very generous gift. I arrived at the pair after reading various other threads THANKS FORUM PEOPLE! 😅 Have to say I am loving the setup. I was originally sold on the orbit by the ability to add via customization as I was able to spend more (though I ended up splurging on the arm, Ortofon red, and acrylic platter up front to save money down the road, oops). I am no expert like many here on the forums but just wanted to say that it is a very capable setup and I don't regret a single penny spent, by me or my generous gifter. Regardless of what you decide, there is a LOT of knowledge on the board here, don't be afraid to explore outside of this thread too, there are a lot of great threads about purchasing or upgrading turntables. Excited to see what you end up with. Happy hunting! Edited June 23, 2019 by Xernicus removed links to protect community safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
