Great vid and I agree wholeheartedly with you on these decks, mate. I learned to mix on Soundlab belt drives back in the early 90s and one of those horrible KAM twin cd player units soon after, then been through three pairs of 1200 Mk2s since then. Just grabbed a pair of Reloops recently and can't really say they are any worse than Technics to be honest, and i really don't know what the fuss is about the digital pitch that everyone moans about. I immediately had no issue whatsover mixing with these. Maybe its just my style of mixing because I don't ride the pitch like some do, but i felt right at home on the first mix and loving them so far. For the same price of one second hand 1200.Mk2 (in Aus) for a pair of these babies im not complaining. Got mine paired up with a Rane One and boy i'm a happy camper 🥳
I was thinking about getting these and you've just sold them to me. I think digital pitch is better because they seem to respond to fine adjustments quicker than the old analogue pitches
Just bought a digital fm synth too which sounds fantastic. Don't know why people moan about digital, I've got an analogue drum machine and prefer my digital fm synth hands down 👍
I have a set of 1210s mk 2 but im needing new turntables with 16% pitch as the mk 2's are too slow for mixing some tunes together with Phase DVS essentials. These Reloops im definitely going to buy!
Great vid mate. Just had a pair of these for Xmas. Like you say they are built to last and I will never have to replace them. Pitch is spot on too. Strobes are dead on and once you lock in the beat there's minimal wobble. Bloody love the things and glad I went for them instead of the PLX 1000s or Mk7s. Where you get the slip mats?
Thanks for the info.. I think I'm going to grab a set based on your recommendation. I was torn between the Mk7 and these, but I think I will go for these rather than pay for the Technics branding.
Trust me mate these are the technics killer! I've tried both and the Reloops beat them hands down. Had my 7000s for nearly two years and they are solid! 👍
I come from a 1200 and a 1200 SL background. Loved your explanations but need to know a couple of things… Are they as quick from start to stop response and are they as simple to set up where the anti skating device is concerned? And does this brand do a Bluetooth / USB version?
Hello and thanks for your comment. The start stop is selectable from near instant (to around 6 seconds) and yeah the anti scate is very easy set up - same as any other turntable. Re the Bluetooth/USB. That's a good question and I'm sorry I don't have an answer for that
Thanks for your review, I’m nearly convinced, however..I’ve seen many reports online that the bearings on the tone arm etc.. can become loose after some time. Have you experienced anything like this. I’m not entirely sure where on the assembly it is being reported but it’s apparently an “easy fix”. IF you know what you are doing. Please reply if you have experienced anything referring to this
The main reason I’m asking is because I really want to buy a set of 1200,s or 1210,s but if I could get the oem goat and not regret it I would be happy. Because I don’t have to search for old parts etc.. that’s my own personal argument but I think of this as my last set of decks considering they were made around the year I was born. I guess I’m asking if you were making such a decision for a set of decks for life… which would you go for?
Hi mate from Glasgow and was looking to buy these decks like urself had a few pairs of 1210 mk2s, really enjoyed this vid just nervous bout taking the plunge is the deck surface metal?
I have a set for just over 2 years, they are fantastic. Build quality is exceptional on them. You will 100% not regret getting them. I bought a refurbed 1210 mk2 last month (which I sent back) with a plan to sell the Reloops to pay for the second one, I was very disappointed with the 1210 compared to the Reloop. It actually felt like a lesser quality product to me, the tone arm on it felt very flimsy compared to the Reloop. It took me a while to get used to the pitch to be fair, I use them about 10 hours a week at home only but there is not a mark on them.
I agree with this guy! RP7000 remind me of my M5Gs before I sold them
I love my 7000Mk2s
I bought two 7000mk2 in Glasgow, second hand, mint, also i bought a xone 62 there.
I love them.

I do like my analogue allen and heath mixer though sounds rather nice

Me too my Friend. Got slip mats from Ebay

@@CiarayBoyDJ thanks…me thinks there is no bluetooth nor usb on this…
@@richmck007 on the 4000s, and the 7000s definitely not. The 8000 is a bit more advanced

@nikmcd4559 never happened on mine or anyone else I know that's bought them. Trust me mate they are solid!
Hi mate, do they stay in beat at all? I hear they constantly drift off and dont stay in beat, you have to twaek?
I have heard that myself tbf. Mine are from 2022 and don't drift at all. They hold the mix perfect
Recommend this unit for home set up not for Dj ?
I wouldn't have a problem taking these to a gig. They are solid, heavier than the very disappointing mk7 1210
Those turntables sound good. Especially with an analogue mixer like xone 92
It's quite difficult to understand his accent when you're in the U.S.😮

Sorry. I'm Scottish 🏴

Hi mate. Yeah combo of Metal and very hard, high quality plastics. I highly recommend them, if your used to the 12s you'll love these 👍
