I have a hard time trying to separate the older Technics turntables which were synonymous with disco use and these newer models which are clearly all about achieving the highest fidelity. I would certainly love to audition this model, thanks Michael, once again, for both reviews 🎶👍
What you have to remember is the older SL-1200 wasn't originally designed to be a disco turntable, but rather became used in discos because of its reliability, start/stop time and relative immunity to vibration absorption from its surroundings. Certainly more DJ-specific features were added, but it was never a matter of those features coming with the design goal of reduced audio performance.
Michael - I'm locked onto one of these for February delivery . Did you use the packed in phono cables, or swap them out? Are they "good enough" - or did they not come with the review unit? Thanks from a W__ker from England.
the double coreless drive sounds like they have been slowly going back to the original design fo the 1200mk series.. it's showing the limitations of physical design especially when down sizing.. Japan had it right from the start - they refined it , and now it's being tweaked but not 'super improved' ..as it shows the deficiency once you scale one part down to accomodate some other design quality.
@3:35 are you trying to imply the start up speed torque has an application to the final sound quality or are you referring simply to the starting up effect of the short period of 'slow to fast' sound quality.. if it's the 2nd reason..then it's trivial once it gets up to speed which is milliseconds?
The higher torque affects sound quality irrespective of start up time. This has been noted by users (and reviewers) for many years. forum.audiogon.com/discussions/stylus-drag-fact-or-fiction
That's a snake head for cart.. weird reminds me of a device from the 30s not a fan of how it looks - pretty non relevant .. but I do like the idea of it being able to use Shure stylus like M44x - it appears to be a heavy nod to radio broadcasting carts - obviously they thought how to re-tool something from Shure since they re-did the classic Shure DJ stylus heads - I'm still waiting for a proper review of those JICO SHURE M44 carts.. there was lots of hype the first month they were released but I have not met a DJ actually using them.

Nice one, Michael. In many ways, this is the definitive table for most folk - performance, longevity, affordability, it's all there.
So practical.... it just works ! Saving the funds now...

Great video
Thank you Michael
Have a wonderful weekend

I'm willing to bet that the dustcover will not close due to the height of the Jico head shell.
How different is this model when for example compared to an SL 1200 MK two

How do you keep the static off the record, mate?

what vibration in earlier Technics designs.. are you talking those plastic plinth versions that were ubiquitous ? Sure I agree with those Technics.

And I thought rocket science was hard. Listening to records is really hard!
How much is a poor boy supposed to spend on these rigs to listen to records on? bloody hell, mate!
This turntable has been specifically designed not to complete with the SL 1200g.

Is this a smaller Turntable than the 1200MK series? it looks not as wide. A good review but you didn't play a record.
