***** which 1200 had the dead spot?

How did you go?

I would like to listen to your mixtape or set using them compared to your older technics DJ mixes , I've had these plx1000 and they are complete crap for mixing vinyl on, not even close to old technics turntable

So how are your PLXs holding up? specifically the pitch?

Are they good for actual mixing? like holding in the mix for long mixes?

Same as you in respect to having Technics for the most part of 20 years, I’ve never been afraid to try new turntables, and having had PLX 1000’s for three years now I can safely say they are far superior to any pair of techs I owned. They hold a mix perfectly and just as importantly they are aesthetically pleasing to look at. No complaints from me.

I've bought a PLX 1000 and I've compared them to my old SL 1200 MK2. While aesthetic and torque of the former are unvaluable, I must say that the precision of PLX 1000 is lower than that of my old MK2. With the term "precision" I mean two things: 1) Wow & Flutter of PLX 1000 lies between 50 and 100 percent more than that of MK2, based on comparable measurements (whose absolute value might be debatable, but the relative on is undoubtedly fair); 2) Pitch granularity is finer on MK2 than on PLX based on the ability to match a precise beat sampled using a digital metronome. Conclusion: I am up to sell my PLX 1000.

Because they've stopped making turntables

WAS is the key word. DJ controllers took over the DJ game

I believe they are very expensive to make so would attract I hefty item price

@@Mr.GoAround they only stopped because Vinyl was dieing

I don't know. Have a Technics SL-1210-MK7. Got it 2 weeks ago but have no Cartridge yet. Vinyl sounds better than CD or USB for that matter or any digital shit. Have 250 Vinyls.

My view is that year 2010 when Pioneer gained the blueprints for the Technics there was a jump in quality. The 2014 PLX 1000 doesn't follow these Technics blueprints other than outside appearance. Pioneer completely redesigned the turntable. It has nothing extra. All that matters is functionality and high quality sound in a pretty appearance. Power, silence, sound quality. No gimmicks. Only PHONO out for the best quality sound. There are teardowns videos that can be compared and the PLX 1000 is a very simple and rugged construction making it an easy and cost effective to service. Compared to Technics that is claimed to be a technicians nightmare and very cheaply made ( go figure total U turn what you usually hear). For some reason all of these being Hanpin TT's the Technics sell by the name and what I can see the Pioneer is better quality yet so much cheaper. Technics seems to follow the old concept even that they are different from model to model but there are lot of Frankenstein TT's put together using whatever was available and yet you could mix and match different models. That makes buying second hand a bit risky. To me it also tells that whatever changes were done to the TT's it wasn't a day and night change that makes me question the pricing. The point I'm trying to make the Technics from 40-50 years ago were a Rolls Royce. The same table today is Audio Technica. Today there are so many new and improved TT's on the market that cost lot less.

Laz kang this is exactly what I want as well,as I enjoy listening to my records and my current turntable is old and don’t want to invest in shit,then piss around finding a decent stylus!

I have gone through two PLX-500. Platter just stops spinnning. Looking for Tech but might consider Plx- 1000. Motor gives out quick on 500

it doesn't

I have seen the same post on KZfaq and it put me off for a while, in the end I bought a pair and I do not encounter feedback and the metallic finish on the Pioneer PLX1000 is excellent.

why is it the best?

Placebo effect towards Technics. Nothing new. I get it it is what you are use to. But in all seriousness the PLX 1000 has been improved in every way compared and yet lot cheaper. Technics sells with name only and you are a living proof of that. Once you had the Pioneer a bit go back to the Technics. That's where you can find the difference and you would just have the sentimental value left.

Iirc the plx1000 weighs more than the 1200

A bit heavier actually

The Mk7 has the better motor and a somewhat more robust tonearm. Super OEM tonearms tend to bend quite easily during DJing. But that's about it. If I had the cash to spend, I'd get the Technics. If I were on a tight budget, I'd get myself a Reloop 7000 Mk2. If I were looking for something to integrate into a home HiFi setup, I'd get the Pioneer mostly for its looks 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@high_fidelity_stuff you should ask all the DJs playing super clubs…. Andy C @ XOXO for example; how’s that feedback working out. You believe what some guy on youtube says, and disregard what is actually happening.

@@svenschwingel8632 reloop rp7000 mk2 have ground issues on the external phono in put its not for the hifi use

@@6Rhyme how can it have grounding issues when it's not internally grounded?

Shure M447

Ortofon Is great

Its aluminium die cast

I have the same doubts 😅

PLX1000 is solid than mk7. mk7 sounds like a empty pot and feel cheap @@djwise808

+analher what vid is that, I'd like to see it? I'm still rocking the same 1210's I've had since '97!

Probably overkill for a living room, especially with respect to price.

nope. 500 is so cheap.

No

@@6Rhyme do you know who does know ?

Technics SL-12x0 mk2 is better. Although PLX-1000 looks more modern.

The SL1210 is the black version and the SL1200 is silver

Pioneer Plx1000 rules

D J Bodhi So do you Recommend i get them,Ihave a pair of mk3 i bought used in Japan but its fucking up,Got them repaired and still fucking up so i said fuck it,Im looking into something new,

@@alexsanchez3635 did you get the plx 1000s ?

Anthony Vega Yeah

@@alexsanchez3635 I'm getting them for mixing ,I heard they are as good as the old 12mk5..is that true

Anthony Vega I have them ,and there built Solid ,the Pitch Fader gets a little getting use to ,but when you do ,its a Good turntable.I have a Technics Mk3D next to the Plx1000 and have been doing Good sets

Oscar Northington who said that ? where you hear it?

Japan

+Night Elektron you sound really happy about it.

That dude is full of shit and lied about the reverb feedback Mojaxx did the same test and that didn't happen so please, not to mention I looked into it, Tech repairs is all soldering, where as the Pioneer is unplug and swap out the part, please do research on an item before throwing it under a buss, these were used in the Red Bull #3 style 2016 and preformed outstandingly!

Reloop rp7000 has ground issues and its hums on the external preamp what a shame

@@6Rhyme PLX 1000 refined from Reloop and step up. Only PHONO out so no problems.

@@paulboyce8537 True thats why i have the Plx1000 👍🏼

That’s not true though. PLX is much closer in terms of build to the Technics.

Sound is amazing! I got the low end of the Concorde carts and the dynamics are just to die for. Of course, if you have a crappy receiver, speakers and speaker wire any high quality turntable is gonna sound lousy. Good test albums for sound are West Side Story soundtrack and anything by Henry mancini. :)

inthe7thhouse How does this thing track? I have to do archiving, and sometimes the records have pretty bad warps in them. I'm not real confident about the ability of these heavy, S-shaped tonearms to stay in the groove under adverse conditions.

Aintry1 This is a Dj table, designed to be put through lots of punishment at clubs. If you use the Concorde carts, this TT will ride those grooves like a pro surfer. I can't guarantee that with a regular box-shaped cart.

OK, thanks.

hangover2000 are the plx's any good ?

+jakkin333 You cant really get a pair technics 1210 cheaper than 1000. (if can then without cartridges)

TECHNICS TILL I DIE LOL

why not?

GOD everyone uses them in clubs etc... iv'e had my 1200's since 1987 and they are still going strong to this day..and i have never had any problems with them. plus they are still in immaculate condition, i would never ever sell them.

yeah but the reason "everyone uses them" is not a solid reason why its better then the others. I think a lot of the others will go as long "strong" as the 1200s do. I want to hear a real reason? Like what features does it have better etc...

GOD i have owned a pair of numark TTX1 turntables just to see what they was like compared to the technics, they only lasted me less than 2 years as the pitch control gave up.. good decks for scratching but crap for mixing, i still think that nothing out there can beat technics for reliabillaty and strength, they use them in dmc mixing competitions so that tells you that they are awesome decks...

+GOD because they are the most reliable solid state design ever produced for a turntable. They were also designed in a time that was less about pinching pennies so they are overbuilt. the plater is heavily dampened, the body is heavy dense rubber, the top is heavy metal, the bearings are high quality. These pioneers are not built to the same standard, despite blatantly ripping off the overall appearance. They have a digital pitchfader which behaves (more like misbehaves) nothing like the analog technics fader. Its not just elitism and brand loyalty, technics are tried tested and true. They have earned their reputation, whether you like it or not.

GTRMO34 ditto. got both my 1200MK2s brand new in ‘05 and i’m never getting rid of them. they’re still like brand new!

Just Buy the pioneer Plx1000

If it was built like a .... ?? cant read the rest of your sentence

+D. Paul Riderman Most companies primary reason to manufacture in China is a workforce at a significantly reduced cost.

So that's the point? Why did we have things made in Japan 1960's - Because the labor was cheap, or the work ethic of the people. Anyone who doubts the power of the Chinese will be awakened to a new world. Yes the labor is less now, but the education of the people is very high, just like in Japan.
