There is no discussion in my opinion when it comes to what turntables you need to buy. The Technics 1200 series
are the dopest turntables in the world. They are used in 99% of venues they have the fastest and strongest direct drive motors in them. They are basically indestructible and recently have been significantly updated with the new 1200MK5 series tables. I own 4 1200's just because they are so beautiful and I have never had a problem with any of them, they are easy to clean, reliable and worth every penny, don't fool yourself and try to get a cheaper pair of knock off's. Every DJ company now is trying to make turntables it's not a conscienced that they all look like and advertise the same features, plus you'll eventually end up buying 1200's once you try them at somebody elses house.

| The 1210 M5G is subtitled the ?grand master? and takes over the top of the line position for Technics? line of turntables. The major improvement here, and the feature which is exclusive to the 1210M5G, is the pitch control. It is now completely digital, which means you should never have the problem of mismatched pitch ranges, and it also gives you the ability to choose between two separate pitch ranges: the standard +/-8 range and the larger +/-16 range. The color scheme, style and finish are also exclusive to the M5G and includes a blue stylus pop-up light, blue lights for both pitch ranges, a unique metallic black finish, and brushed steel hardware for everything down to the 45 adaptor.
Other than that, the M5G includes the same improvements that the MK5 made over the M3D: include 1) the tonearm construction has been improved, which should lead to better skip resistance 2) the brake adjustment is now more accessible. Simply remove the record and slipmat and it?s possible to adjust the platter?s breaking time with a screwdriver. |

| Technics mixers were really popular when they first came out, they are still the nicest looking mixers out right now. They had the best feeling faders and ahd this really phat black or silver glossy finish, however they were plagued with faders that starting bleed in almost a few months of really heavy use. In the short amount of time I had my mixer I blew through about 3 faders. That is until i came to meet my rane ttm-56 which shits all over this mixer. (See rane section). Technics apparently improved the faders with VCA (Voltage Controlled) which last somewhat longer but nothing compared to the quality and durability of magnetic and digital faders. This mixer is still really dope for a step up from your current piece of shit, but in the long run its not worth buying it because of the fader issue. If you mix house or don't cut that much then i'd buy this mixer in a flash. |

| Ahhh the technics headphones.. Words can't explain how much I love these headphones. Rock solid design and they can be folded in a little leather pouch they give you with the box. These headphones are super loud and just like its big brother the technics 1200 these things are not breaking. I've owned a pair for about 2 years and they never broke. Buy these immediately!
