-- What the hell? Technics DIGITAL turntable SL-DZ1200
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

it would be nice if maybe the pitch slider was infinitely adustable and only the display showed 0.1% change (even though it was really more accurate than that)

they look good.. I'll hold off buying a new CD deck till Ive had a test drive of these..

Sweet....

/me wants some $$$....

omg you got to be kidding me. The platter is direct drive? Thats fucking crazy. Oh man as soon as my student loan comes in im buying one.

I drag my CDJ-1000 around all the time. Get a good case and you won't have to worry about it getting banged up. Although no one knows how much these sexy technics weigh, it probably doesn't weigh too much more than a CDJ-1000, if not less.

But if people haul their 1200's around, I don't think hauling these around would pose that big of a deal.

this is from a thread in the New York City forum about this topic. and you can pretty much expect it to be more expensive here.

lol. I really hope technics dosnt think its going to compete with the cdj-1000's with a price tag of 3 grand. what a fucing joke.

well i'm guessing they will debut at 3k. so crazy people who have money to throw around will buy them.

give them 6 months or so and they will drop down to a competing price wit the pioneers

Those look incredible!!

surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement an analog pitch control? 0.1% is not exactly sufficient imo

yeah, you would think they could make an analog pitch slider for CDs. i don't know if it's possible though. I don't think the CD actually goes slower, because the laser is reading at a constant speed. the sound is digitially processed to make it faster or slower, and for that it needs a multiplication factor.

someone correct me if i am wrong?

anyway, even if it does need a multiplication factor, couldn't they just make it go to say, 4 decimal points? that oughta be enough.

that is a very pretty deck

pfft they aint thatgood

we had one for testing for the past 2 weeks

oh really? cool. so can i buy that bridge from you? I really need it for this weekend man.

the price of progress...

I feel the pain of you guys who have just shelled out big $ for CDJ1000s, etc. - but I've noticed a trend - for products to remain at the top of their class for a increasingly shorter period of time.

Sure, some items will always maintain a somewhat mythical status, like the Shelby Cobra, Porsche 959, Technics 1200, the original Macintosh.... but the fact is that the reign of superiority these things enjoy is getting shorter and shorter as technology progresses.

The CDJ1000 was the bomb, then the Denon with the rotating platter showed up soon after... then the CDJ1000MK2.... Next it will be the Technics CD deck, then probably another Pioneer with the rotating platter & DVD capability. As the digital medium matures, I think we're gonna see a lot of products come & go in a relatively short period of time, till we reach a point like we did with the turntable - when was the last major technological breakthrough that impacted the way turntables were designed, manufactured, or used? Been a while... but when it was young, the improvements were fast & furious...better cartridges, suspensions, drive mechanisms, tangential tracking, etc...

Anyway, I feel your pain - unless you have a healthy cash flow to keep up with the latest toys, whatever you buy now (CD-wise) will likely be lackluster (compared to the latest & greatest) sooner rather than later.

Just my friday night rant before heading out... and so as not to derail the thread.... somebody post pics & more info on Sunday when these puppies are officially revealed!!

yep SACD would rock. so would DVD-A.

good post above Dzokayi, and i agree for the most part, but this deck is different it's TECHNICS.

I think they will become the new standard for CD Djing. sure the others will emulate, change, mutate, but these are gonna be THE CD players to own, just like 1200s are THE turntable to own.

whatever.... these cd decks look cool, and i'm sure that they are probably really nice but aside from the technics motor and large plater what do they do that is so ground breaking? 3K for this thing is absolutely retarded (no offense to retarded people). if anything, it seems like these decks are emulating denons that are emulating pioneers.... playing different formats is cool and i think thats its good to see evolution in technology but i am not exactly sporting wood over these decks, esp at 3K ea.

those look beatiful

well??

The release date has come & gone. I still haven't seen any more info on these babies.

She looks sexy but for 3k shes gotta be a gold digger.
















VINYL FOREVER.

What does this offer for $3000.00 that the Pioneer or Denon's don't. For that pricetag I could buy 2 cdj1000's or S5000's and have over $1000 left for a mixer. There is no way the technics can be that much better.

It's all about the name and the hype because it's technics. Pioneer and Denon's products probably have most of the functionality of this new player for 1/3 the cost.

Just because it's made by Technincs doesn't make it better...

$3k

I am certain that this is the price that early adopters are willing to pay for them right now. By the time they are readily availabe through the normal channels, I bet the price will be in line with current offerings. Relax a bit, don't make me say 'I told you so'

official release date and price are not set yet.
so i don't think it's really gonna be $3000.

Hi there

Just noticed that your all wondering about the Technics CD player. Well I was at Plasa last sunday, its this massive dj/ music technology show, and thats where Technics unveiled thier cd player. They had two on show for the public to touch & have a go on, although they werent turned on, also the new mixer was there.
I had a little go on them and they are brilliant, the jog wheel is fantasic, definitly a rival to the current Pioneers & Denons.
Also they had some very good scratch djs using them to show the public what the can do & they are phenomenol. They are just like vinyl, better than the pioneers & denons because they are based around the legendry 1210's.

Also since we are on the subject cd players. You may want to take a look at Numarks brand new one. Its EXACTLY like a turntable. Its looks indtical to one & even uses a vinyl. Its amazing.

I hope that helps a little if you were wondering about the Technics cd player.

Joe
