a-swift, I got a pair of the technic sldz1200s myself. I am curious to why you don't or didn't like them? Its what I started on so I don't really know anything else. As time goes on I am liking them less and less.
nick, your sldz1200 cd players are already on their way to making it to your worst ever list.
i don't even have to try hard to break these things down. they are like a clinic in bad purchase decisions. yeah, yeah, tell me it's me fault for not researching properly. i've heard it all before.
luckily, using them with serato or some other software makes most of the issues irrelevant but there is still enough there to get steamed about.
first of all, they were REALLY freaking expensive. i don't remember exactly how much but i am guessing i paid $750 each for these paperweights. i've never owned the pimpish m5gs but for $750x2 i could have got some with money to spare. blue lights, digital stuff, all that.
they had a really cool concept working with the moving platter. however, i think denon does it better, hell i've even grown to tolerate the dead cdj platter. at this point i actually like the cdj platter better.
mp3 support is fubar, finicky and just bad. beat counter with no manual overide, or tap or id3 tag bpm support is nearly laughable.
the fact that you can't play regular mp3s from the sd card is, well, incomprehensible.
sldz takes FOREVER to read discs, sometimes stops playing in the middle of a song for no reason. ill.
this post is already too long, and i don't even feel like i've scratched the surface of what's wrong with the sldz. it's bad. pleasebelivit.
