What customers say about "Audio"
 
Technics SL 1210 Mk5 TurnTable
  • The sound quality is amazing. I had forgotten how great analog equipment could sound, even when using a DVS like serato or Traktor.
  • The speed accuracy is phenomenal also. And it sounds amazing.
  • It is perfect in everything. Precise tracking, skate, balance controls. Unwavering drive speed, extremely low rumble and is also a very well isolated unit.
  • Mated with a low noise pre-amp, and audiophile quality needle/cartridge delivers amazing sound.
  • The stability and strength of these decks when mixing, scratching, blending and beat juggling is simply superior.
