Advantages: can't go wrong Disadvantages: overpriced
...the same review as the Technics SL-1200 MK5 because the only difference between the SL-1200 MK5 and SL-1210 MK5 is the colour. The SL-1200 is silver and the SL1210 is black. Not many people realise it. The amount of people I've met who say "yeah...the 1210's are better aren't they!?" and "the 1210's are more powerful". When I was trying to sell 1200's MK2, I had difficulty selling them to 2nd hand stores because the shops were only after 1210's because ... ...standard for lower prices the technics deck is starting to become outdated. Though it's becoming outdated it still holds the same price. With the MK 5, it has nothing really new to offer, only accessories which hardly justify the new pricing of the turntable.

I prefer this to pro DJs, also for beginners if they are not buying some cheaper Stanton or Numark, but don't prefer this for just home use for listening vinyls. This is for mixing!
One more thing is the target light. I bet everyone is bored of, when the target light dies, and you cann't replace it. At this model, the target light is supplyed with a long life LED. The motor remained almoust the same, just ...

...crystal clear as usual with Technics as long as you have a decent mixer. Use of speed control is simple and when changing theres not a big gap between the two speeds. I would recomend this turntable to anyone and I feel it is the best one out there at the moment. Once you switch it on and start mixing you wont want to turn it off. If its proffesional and crystal clear mixing your after, this is the one for you. ...
