in europe anyway, the only difference is color.

also im curious, what is your reason for disliking the mk5s? theyre the same as the mkIIs except theres no click at 0 and theres a pitch reset

Just like on my MK3D's I went for them on purpose so i wouldn't have the ole click. . .

If i were buying now, i'd probably go for the same ones as, well they're tiny bit harder to find. I think...

nelly

The MK5s are a joke? Howso since they're basically an MKII with the center click removed.

The difference between a 1200 and a 1210 is that 1210s can be plugged into european or american outlets. 1200s only operate at 110v.

I think zild is right, it has a switch and you can use it with 220 plug and 110 plug . pretty neat

Nope. I got 1200's in Oz and we're 240V here. The only difference is that 1210's are black as far as I know.

Strange because all 1210s I've seen are dual voltage and all the 1200s I've seen are single voltage. I know 1210s are black but I own a black 1200mkIII.

hmmm intresting... cause this all confusing me cause i had spun on both and me and my boys did like a spin test and they were both brand new... hmmm idk shit is weird... but yes i have to talk shit about the MK5's no offense to anybody but those tables are just plain out crap and its one of those things that came out just to make more money... its like when microsoft came out with Me & Millenium those were the most crappiest operating systems i have ever messed with... those turntables could not keep of beat worth shit and my boy bought those brand new and he took them back cause it was soo shitty... haha but its all good... but damn idk about them being the same but then again i would love to test them out for sure again...

i think "hitman" means the M5Gs.

technics got my money for them. but i knew what i was getting myself into.

i only needed to switch the pitch adjustment once, and I was pitching down.

the blue LEDs was something i was going to change anyway, and if you change them on your own it costs almost as much as buying them AND you lose your warranty.

but that black glossy finish is hawt. and i am a fancy man with money to throw away.

i guess i was wrong then. you are talking about the mk5s.

they are the same thing with the same electronics as the mkII, except the lock at zero.

you and the boys(z) may want to rethink a few things if you think you noticed a big difference.

Clearly Hitman has no idea what he's talking about. MK5s have an improved tonearm for more skip resistance, a more accessible brake adjustment, sunken power switch, and eliminated the 0-click (some of these improvements were first done in the M3D). Yeah, that sucks. Especially since it has the same motor and construction as the MK2. WTF are you talking about?

BUT DO NOT COME INTO THIS FORUM IF U DONT KNOW WHAT U R SAYING AND MAKING A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF AND GOING TO THERE WEB-SITE AND C WHAT THE DISCRIPTION IS AND TYPING IT UP ON HERE CAUSE THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL U WOULD OF KNOWN THAT... I NEEDS PEOPLE'S OPINIONS NOT CRITISMS OK... NOW NEXT PERSON

Originally posted by dj_palm did u use same cartridges when testing? and was the weight, antiskating etc adjusted same? every deck is diferent if their setup diferent, so i guess u set up the mk5 wrong. if set up right u cant feel diferent from mk2 excepts the 0-point clicky-thing and that the on/off button is sunken, pretty much as everyone says. i believe motor and all is same. i bet its the setup of arm and cartridge.

idk man we know how to set up tonarms right to adjust it with ortofon's pro-s so i dont even know... its all good... we didn't buy all the turntables its the club that that myself and my other boy who djs there and they just wanted to know whats better so they can have better updates with there turntables... so idont even know... just wanted to know whats better the 1200's or the 1210's with your guys opinions

You're a fool to ask that question. 1200 or 1210? What's better? Are you kidding me? MK5s suck wrt MK2s? Are you kidding me? You're pretty much asking us "what should I get, black finish or silver finish?" and expecting a discrete answer.

In my opinion, you have no idea what you're talking about and realized that after the first person replied to your post. Now you're just bullshitting your way out of the mess you started, making it as if you know your shit. We forgive you. Now just give up.

haha
bye

Really? REALLY? Well then, let's look at a prior post in which you claimed something, which in fact makes no sense...

You state that ME and Millennium are the worst OSes that MS made, well, it's funny you mention that BOTH those versions are crap, when in fact, they are the SAME version.

Before you go about making claims and backing it up with complete and utter bullshit, think twice.

Plain and simple, I'm gonna go out on a limb here...you and your boys can't match a beat...

the ONLY thing you need to consider about buying decks 1200 vs 1210 is...

where you live

the difference is the voltage selector switch on the 1210 for european current

you can get the 1200 in both silver and black and i believe you can also get the 1210 in both

c fools and childish people do not need to reply i can c your maturity level is a lil kid but thats ok cause your the ones that looking like a fool on here and have to talk shit and be babies and its sad u have to talk shit on the net lord... its ok but u guys need to grow up and i just ask a question for your opinion so u know what get the f**k out of this forum if u have to talk shit go make up another forum to do that not here u f**kin idiots... but anyways thanks Tony Morello for not acting like a baby and just telling me something straight up... we c u guys are going to get somewhere in life u low life lil f**ks

Are you still talking?

In the US, the difference between the 1200 and 1210 is the voltage switch. So, it doesn't matter unless you're taking your decks to Europe. 1200 is available in silver and black, 1210 is black only.

In Europe, the difference is color only. 1200 = silver. 1210 = black.

So, for the most part, your question is "what color is better"?

Your argument is that a turntable with a better tonearm and more precise pitch control is much worse than its predecessor, even though the motor is unchanged. Correct?

nope just waiting for u lil fags to get off this forum so us people that want to sit here and talk about something intresting and not be all hurt in the butt hole cause u dont like that was said

I would love to talk about something interesting. Too bad nothing that you've ever done, or even thought, could be remotely construed as interesting to me. I would love to talk about equipment, but it's quite apparent that you have no knowledge of the subject. I mean, you probably know what a turntable looks like, at least, but that's about it.

As for being hurt, yeah, my brain hurts trying to read your posts. It's hard to comprehend the ravings of an idiot/madman. The homophobia is a nice touch, though. Still trying to get over the realization that quite a few of the top DJs are gay?

okay, from what i can tell by what your saying is that your probably a 13 year old dickhead that thinks he knows everything. so dont tell us to grow up and be mature when you cant even post a reply on without insulting yourself. so go off into your own little corner and beat off to your porn that your addicted to and stop bashing people because thier opinion's conflict with yours. now back to the subject.

yeah the 1200's come in 120v and 240v, but the 1210 just has a switch on the back of them like a computer powersupply so you can use it in any country. I say go for the mk3's if you can find any, otherwise get the mk5's.

..wow..
that's about all i can say is ..wow..
i mean, like totally... wow ...

But like everybody says here.. it's the voltage... but it shouldn't really be a problem. You can always buy a step up or step down voltage converter.. prolly around $30?...
If u really want to know.. i have 2 SL-1200MK2s they're black, with the red LEDs and ol-fashion pop up lights. 120V, made by Matshushita (SP?) Electronics - JAPAN!!
They work great, i've gotten over the "click" problem. Works like how a Tech should work... granted i've never messed around with other tables to know better...

And my friend...don't need TO USE CAP DAMMIT!!! JEEeEzzz... Have some forum manners...

nothing worse than a congenital idiot without any idea of how to construct sentences. Hitman420Swisha, you win pkcs Cockhead of the Month Award!! congratulations.
