Absolutely love mine, pitch could be slightly tighter and the pop up made smoother other that they are the dogs. It will take for something serious for me to get my technics back out. These are serious eye candy and they perform superbly. A lot heavier than expected.

Its nice to see pioneer keeping this going .... Looks a solid unit...I've had my 1210 mk2 for 10 years no problems with them...

imma go ahead and get a pair

Love it bro that a great truntable n the prize is good power mottor no joke at all it feel like the weel of steel technic i felt back home when they came out i hope it last like the 1200 classic i got them too two pair pluss vestax too but i was shck by pioneer n that blue light colors is cool good fro scratching n mixing too a lots of professional DJ rock them technic is crazy prize brand new they never look out for the DJ world

THANK GOD

This guy looks like the long-lost half brother of Ryan Gosling and Kaskade

i dont know how you would determine that it will have better sound because of a gold plated connection that wasnt included or necessary on a 1210 when that gold connection will be soldered to the circuit board in just the same manner as the rca leads of a 1210 i would suggest that a gold connection would be necessary just to equal the sound quality of a 1210 being that its an extra connection where sound quality might be lost and thats assuming having gold connections is as good as having no connection at all

Panasonic are technics, always have been. That's why the shops were Panasonic-technics centre. Technics ceased trading but Panasonic are relaunching the brand with the introduction of new equipment. Even a whisper that they may relaunch a new turntable. No doubt they want to sit back for now and see if the plx takes off before ploughing money in. Wise maybe but then if the plx becomes the industry standard then technics have a battle on their hands.

reloop 7000 or plx 7000 hmmmm

It's a little bit annoying that every single review of this I read (except for Stereophile's) says nothing about how they sound. You can wiggle stuff around 'em, SURE....how they sound....not so much......but not to worry.....it's the best sounding Turntable Pioneer's put out since PL-90 (and before that the PL-L1000....). Get 'em while they're hot! (Quality seems to have a short shelf life these days....)

Good review this turntable is made in japan?

Bonjour j ai vraiment besoin de votre aide, svp, je veut acheter une pioneer plx 1000! Mais je ne sais pas comment sa fonctione, il faut acheter le disque qu'on veut jouer ou bien on peut mettre n importe quelle disque et mettre une musique sur serato et après mixer la musique sur serato??? Svp aider moi

I've had 2 sets if technics and yes they are great turntables. However before the trend of customising 12 s to service them were a pain and time consuming. I got tired if a lamp blow out and ground cables popping out. I cannot afford a new set of 12s as for a set of these would be 2500 a pair for just the standard edition ,now don't get me wrong I love technics and I've heard some really bad reviews on these but I think it's down to live and die hard fans of technics and I get it but time moves on and if I can test these before I buy it's a no brainer for me.just saying.

its a revised version of the "hanpin super oem design" same as Stanton ST150 , Reloop, Kam, Citronic etc etc which is shocking considering its more expensive (pioneer sucker tax), all pioneer had to do is make an exact copy of technics, they seriously f**ked UP! by choosing the cheap route and buying off handpin, just buy a good used pair of technics instead

Technics (brand) Technics Technics logo.svg Native name テクニクス Industry Electronics Founded 1965 (brand revived in 2014 by Panasonic) Headquarters Kadoma, Osaka, Japan Key people Fumio Ohtsubo, president Products DJ sets, headphones, synthesizers, turntables Parent Panasonic Corporation Slogan Ideas for Life. Website www.technics.com/ Technics (テクニクス Tekunikusu?) is a brand name of the Panasonic Corporation, a company that produces a variety of electronic products. Under the brand name Technics, the company produced a variety of hi-fi products, such as turntables, amplifiers, receivers, tape decks, CD players and speakers for sale in various countries. It was conceived for a line of high-end audio equipment to compete against brands such as Nakamichi. From 2002 onwards, products have been rebranded Panasonic except in Japan and the former Soviet Union, where the brand remains in high regard. In Europe and the USA, the brand continues to be applied to DJ equipment, electronic pianos and micro Hi-Fi systems. History Technics was introduced as a brand name for premium loudspeakers marketed domestically by Matsushita in 1965. The name came to wider prominence with the international sales of direct-drive turntables. In 1969, Technics launched the SP-10, the first direct-drive model for the professional market, followed in 1971 by the SL-1100 for the consumer market. The SL-1100 was used by the influential DJ Kool Herc for the first sound system he set up after emigrating from Jamaica to New York.[1] This latter model was the predecessor to the SL-1200 which, as the upgraded SL-1200 MK2, became a widely used turntable by DJs. A robust machine, the SL-1200 MK2 incorporated a pitch control mechanism (or vari-speed), and maintained a relatively constant speed with low variability, which proved popular with DJs. The SL-1200 model, often considered the industry standard turntable, continued to evolve with the M3D series, followed by the MK5 series in 2003. Despite being originally created to market their high-end equipment, by the early 1980s Technics was offering an entire range of equipment from entry-level to high-end. In 1972, Technics introduced the first autoreverse system in a cassette deck in its Technics RS-277US and in 1973 it introduced the first three-head recording technique in a cassette deck (Technics RS-279US). In 1976, Technics introduced two belt-driven turntables for the mass market, the SL-20 and SL-23. The principal difference between the two models was the addition, in the SL-23, of semi-automatic operation and an adjustable speed control with built-in strobe light. They offered technical specifications and features rivalling much more expensive turntables, including well-engineered s-shaped tonearms with tracking weight and anti-skate adjustments. At the time they were introduced the SL-20 and SL-23, which sold for $100.00 and $140.00, respectively, set a new performance standard for inexpensive turntables.[2]

I'm sure this is a super nice but to me, it was a big fail from Pioneer to not have grounded RCA cables.

Anybody with a legit tax number can purchase these. They cost 210 American per unit and sell in batches of 10. So what 699 to 799 mark up. That's a ton of profit but not much quality . They will not say Pioneer on them but its the same turntable.

You did in the beginning, everything would be from the technics......you forgot the inside......\????sad...sad... You can give a nice spin on it......you only bought the looks. and were even to cheap to remake the old motor pcb. And the start-torque may be high....but the technics spins why more constant... Why don't you take a 1200mk2, bring it to modern standard, with the tone arm new and cable in one piece , just a new real balanced platter and new bearings...just the standard ones... Offcourse the technics has also shitty pcb's and lowgradecompents, but upgrade those to a normal modern unit. Not those wornout stuff, you buy everywhere on inet. And put also a standard vestax 3000mix next to it... pioneer dares to makes their monitors from plywoord... the fist gen with the remote, with asmall trafo, .... yeah that was good choice..... Like most pioneer stuff it's getting more and more plastic and you have good mixer ....for scratching, but on the long wrong it's rane...great faders, value lasting, since pioneer changes way to often.

See this video before going out and purchasing these decks. I made that mistake. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7SqgMZ5l8DGpIk.html
