Technics SL 1200/10s MkII in case you weren't paying attention!

The M3Ds are good but not made any more.
The point to my arguement is really that I wouldn't recomend either deck and would say to stick with the Mk IIs as they are better value for money and all you need to get really good with.

recommending 10's.....
Old skool 00's all the way
Ever get a sense of deja vu??

I don't know why techs 1200 mkii are so expensive, I don't know how such old technology (prob made with the same machinery from 1810) can be so expensive, I'm sure they would be able to sell it for half the price and make more profit because they would sell more.

how are you liking that setup? it looks like im gonna go for the second ttx and have a matching pair and i want ur mixer but i dont feel like spending 1000 bucks CDN on it so i guess my pmc 05 pro II will have to do for now. How are you liking the mixer? any complaints?

as a previous mk2 owner and a former ttx one....i would say go for the ttx.....i havent regreted anything till they day i swapped them....
the mixer is ok,the fx are CF fx so u have to move the cf to hear them.its a nice mixer for its money , but i would like to move on to get the nuo5 or the new denon soon ;>

go for ttx.....you wont regret it..

ps: new setup includes serato scratch live

Posted by anth_on_e on Oct-19-2004 22:27:

hows serato? i was looking to get that also after i get my next deck.

Posted by Toufas on Oct-20-2004 08:13:

with one word? amazing....

never had any problem with it and even my flatmate who likes scratching can do his things with no problem

i dont use the bpm counter, i use the pitch display ie .5% its just easier to know how exact you are where as on the mk5 u are just guessing what pitch change u made. im used to the display since my cdjs had them, but i never use the bpm counter since they arent very accurate anyway.

every deck under the sun has a pitch display, namely the scale next to the pitch fader

you can actually switch off the display on the ttx can't you?

back on topic, i would get a matching deck. the ttx is a great deck, easily as good as a mk3 or mk5, although the longevity of the ttx is still an unknown, but as donald rumsfeld (sp?) so cleverly put it, its a known unknown...

sure the technics will hold their value better, but who cares, you shouldn't be paying that much for a deck you arn't going to keep anyway

Not so much Deja Vu as more perhaps a recuring nightmare...

i would go for the mk5 tbh
the problem with the ttx is that u can only pitch in 0.1% steps which is a problem often imho. when i mixed on a friends ttx i had that problem very often... 0.1% slower was too slow and 0.1% faster was too fast... also the ttx doesnt look so good imo ;P
and the technics have the best...err... whats the word in english the manual says "wow and flutter" i hope u guys know what i mean

so..i would deffo go for the technics

That's only the pitch display, the pitch is fully analog. You've just pushed the pitch too much.

I'm in a similar situation. I got a great deal on a barely used TTX1, but I still need my second turntable. I think I'll go for another TTX1

Posted by Special_K on Oct-24-2004 18:44:

just out of curiosity what are you ever going to use all that extra tourque for? why would you need more tourqe then what a tech12 has?

Yep...

just to let everyone i ended up going with a ttx, just bought it today. The way i see it is, im 16, not going to clubs for another 3 years. RIght now its more just for fun so i got a matching deck and if i ever wanna use techs, 3 yrs from now i can still buy em and my friend has m3ds so i can use those to get used to it. Plus the ttx is 150 bucks cheaper so ya thats what happened.
