1210 MK5G.

Closest thing available to the Stanton ST(R8)-150.

Whatever you can get a hold on to.

Who buys Technics to have something close to a Stanton?

*nom nom nom*

1210 m5g!! haha just get something decent and as you learn get those m5gs

Any of them as they all piss on anything else thats on the market.

get a pair of used 1200 mk2's - super popular and common turntable.

Get them serviced at a local electronic's shop, specializing in technics (aka - have them investigate the wiring, connections, and a possible need to replace the RCA cables)

A pair of them from a reputable person in craigslist list could be 250-350.

I started with Stanton T62's for a year before upgrading to Technics. It shows you how good you've gotten - then when you switch to a better turntable, you can immediately see an improvement.

If you learn on expensive sh*%, you don't get to recognize those major jumps in improvement.

Yeah on craigslist they are selling a pair or Technics Sl - 1200 MK5's they look verry clean. . Can you upload pictures on here? Ill upload a few pics of of the tables. Thanks again for your helps guys. And my friend.has the MK2's and told me to get the MK5's

The Technics SL - 1200 MK5's are going for 900$ but I talked him.into 750$ possibly 800$ ?comes with two red.vinyl. Technics needles dust covers.and grounds are good.I wouldn't no what to check for.before I purchase them ???

check the platter and see how level the platter spins (some have a little wobble from abuse) - check the lights *including the pop-up light.

something harder to do while at the actual time of purchase - check the wires - turn on, play serato, and wiggle the RCA cables while playing - some may cut in and out due to worn/aged wiring (this is a common this with 10-15-20 yr techs)

good luck - those should be real nice TTs

Thanks again. Ill be taking.my friends who is more skilled in tts

I love the mk5s best but tht is just my personal preference

I say the 1210 MK5's as the pitch lock is taken out unlike the 1200, you can make better mixes this way and have more room to work with. I have Technics 1210 MK5's and love them. Good luck finding a pair cause they aren't being produced anymore.

any that you can find is gonna be the answer soon

i don't think i'll ever need a feature the Mk5 doesn't have. i was tempted by the m5gs but at the end of the day, i think i prefer the mk5s.

Yeah cuz the 1210 mk5s are going for 1200 cash n the 1200 mk5s 750 cash great condition

doesn't matter which one you start off with just get a technic, stanton, or newer vestax who knows you might not like djing and end up selling them in a few months..

the extra pitch range of the m5gs has been a life saver to me on more than 1 occasion

get the 1200 mk2 bro, i have a 1210 mk5 black, 1200 mk 5 for sale. 1200's are good

Anything above the MK2 will do just fine!

Lol well i WANT the 1210 MK5 Blacks but he is asking 1200 for them and the other guy with the MK5 1200 750 with REd serato Viyl and needles and dust covers Grounds are good and RCA's .. .

I just came across a NUMARK M3 Mixer for 60 Bones. and Serato SL3 for 300 with everything but i think i can get he mixer and serato SL1 for cheaper because he is trying to get ridd of everything .. i would like Serato SL3 any ideas ? thanks guys

sl3!!! no doubt that the deal of the year! stick to the 1200 mk5s then. dont buy a cheap mixer, get something built like a tank. ttm 56 ftw

Are you saying Stanton turntables are better than Technics??

? Technics are top of the line right .. ? not even Gemeni >

Ok guys no this guys Is aking for 1100 for the TECHNICS Sl 1210 MK5's(BLACK) ? maybe i can talk him into 1000 flat./ Im working on him right now .. but only the tables . No nothing. just slip mats. and


the other guy stil has the Technics sl -1200 MK5's for 750 $$ and he has the two red serato Vinyl and vise versa

Sorry guys i ment to say SL1 for $300 and looking for SL3 tho :((

I just saw 3... YEAP 3 1210's MK2 for $200 each!

what.. were @ ?

Craigslist

Where! Post link

@ m bezzle... really?? is it tht bad... anything i need pitched is never more than 8 apart and if it is slow down 1 to say -2 or 3 and +7 on the other side... wat r u messin with tht is so far apart

Technics 1210 mk5 black just tables? for 1000 or. Technics 1200 mk5 for 800 with needles n vinyls. Im stressing out over here guys help me out .. should I go for.the 1210 n hold on to then and buy a rane mixer later?

hip hop ranges from 60 to abput 130 now adays, and there are alot of really creative mixes you can pull when you have that extra pitch room.

Honestly if your looking for a pair of Technics turntables, all you'll ever need is a pair of 1200mk2. Forget extra pitch range, you should NEVER be mixing any track that far out of its original pitch, and you dont really need pitch reset to fly back to zero. Trust me 1200mk2 cheapest option without the un-necessary bells and whistles.

never say never ;)

We'll my option is Technics mk5 1200. Or 1210. Idk the black mk5 look nice! !!

Were around the 91016 or L.A. an.I go get the 1200 checked n inspected?

Bezz can use it however he wants but much better DJs than him have done fine with +/-8% for decades. I RARELY go over 6% and i'm fine with that. there are many tricks to hopping around from different BPMs besides pitching way up or down.

they also did fine without loops, cue points, rel mode, computer librarys ect ect. Its stupid to not use the tools at your disposal

So are you saying you're going to start using AutoSync when Serato adds it?

dude no disrespet the only difference between 1200mk5s and 1210 mk5s r the color pick a color u like

sure why not.....though i still hope that never happens lol

What about prize difference ? they are asking for 1000 for the 1210 and 800 for the 1200

get silver and add purple leds!!! dope

How would I add the leds .. that would be sick. Woudlnt it lol better on black tables? ? Lol money is not really that much of an issue. The thing is I want the best you no. .

ebay brother, look for technics led no sodering.

Oh and by the way, Craigslist. Test em before you buy em. Make the drive if you gotta.

Hey guys thanks again for all your guys help .. I wouldn't have known were to star .. ill keep trying to.lower the prize of the 1210 mk5. Black is wha I would like

Then buy two of these.

www.prodjsupply.com

Yeah I was gonna start a separate thread about this but I guess I'll add it here. I've been doing some shopping on Ebay for a good used pair of Techs. I nervous though. Don't know what to look for.

yeah, but even when we adopted the new technology you mentioned, we still don't pitch up or down more than 8% because 98% of the time it sounds terrible.

you can do you.. whatever works for you man. you're still learning so figure your shit out and let other djs do their own thing my man.

so back to my original post:



not debatable. just my opinion.

I just found some nice Technics 1200 M3d's ? dor lowest 650 with out needles.. Just tables .. He just got them internaly grounded ?? ill be using Serato SL3 and mixer. ? not sure if thats still okay ?

Yeah its still okay. Internal grounding is more or less a way to get rid of that pesky third wire with the forked end on it, as I was told. I built some cases that acheved the same electrical effect and it works just great with my SL3. $650 for a PAIR of 1200's w/o needles isn't a bad price, at least I don't think so. I already said it once and I'm gonna say it again. I strongly suggest test driving the tables first before you buy them. I got a pair of 1210's for $600 no needles about three years ago, made the udue selling them hook em up to HIS SL1 and let me scratch for a few and test em out. Three years later, like most tech's, they're perfect!

Nice. Okay im new to this so i filled with questions.. and thanks again for spreading your knowledge with me and im just looking around so fat.. Honnestly i dont no why but i like the mk5's 1210 they are offering me for $950 But idk . Just the tables and slip mats no needles.. ? they look super clean and i like the black theme > but then again M3d's for 650 ? i gotta remember i still need SL3 and A mixer ?

thts the point... pick a color u lik at a price thts cool 4 ur budget n get prracticing

+1

Okay thanks. . . If I get a few hundred mire ill get the mk5. 1210

Rane TTM 57 what Serato is buit in ??? sl1 or sl3 or sl4

not much difference between the mk5 and m3ds. if money is an issue, go with the m3ds.

Well i was thinking getting the MK5 and the Rane 57 Mixer. But I need to now how and what Version on Serato is Built into Rane mixer 57 ??

SL1

software version of serato is different. You can run 2.2 with any setup

So I should just get sl3 box n another mixer. Obviously what is better? Sp you can't update the Serato on the 57. To sl3. I don't want sl1 even tho it's less hassle

get the 57 or 56

Can you update to SL3 if i get the 57 ... cuz if not ans its just sl1 ill get the 56 and sl3 or sl4

Yeah you can't update the 57 to SL3.

In my opinion though I bet 50% of djs wouldn't know the difference between the sound quality of the SL3 and the SL1 in a loud

Whats the real difference ? do you think they will make another mixer with SL3 in it ?

And do you recommend getting the TTM 57 .. Or the TTM 56 with sl3 ?

Avoid this effing mixer like the plague! I broke mine withen two weeks of buying it when i first started..



57 for the onboard FX, and MIDI controls to serato.

The mixer qusetion is one you kind of need to answer for yourself. The question is are the mixer features on the 56 or the 57 the features you're looking for? I opted to go with an SL3 myself because I wanted at least a four channel mixer and ended up getting a five channel one. I sacrificed the on board effects and loop controls. It's all about the features and what you're looking for.

So what are the main differences between the actualy ttm 57 sl1 and the sl3

The TTL57, as far as I'm aware (I don't have one), is a mixer with an SL box (SL1,2,3) more or less built in. An SL3, or 2 or 1, is a stand alone Serato interface. If you get an SL1, 2, or 3 you'll need a mixer to go with it. Pretty much any DJ mixer will work. This is why I suggest that you structure your decision around mixer features. Think hard about what MIXER features are important to you and base your decision on that. The important mixer features for me were common ones like an assignable cross-fader, mid, bass, hi cuts and knobs, those beautiful bouncing LED'S that have been around since probably the 60'S, and most important for me was a 4 channel mixer. I needed the ability to play outside of Serato without rewiring my system. So I can run a karaoke system or something like that at the same gig where I'm also using my Serato/SL3. Some DJs prefer a 2 channel mixer that doesn't have so many buttons and switches and knobs and faders and is just less bulky, busy, and confusing. I'm pretty sure the TTM57 is a 2 channel mixer, with the advantage of some extra buttons and knobs just for Serato features and effects.I guess I should throw in that the SL3 is just an updated version of the SL1 with a few more tricks in it. Good luck!

Jus bought some black 1210 MK2's off of ebay for $865 with shipping. I look to be in great condition. They'll be here on Monday. Think I got a good deal or what?
cgi.ebay.com

ever heard of a transition track?? you can do those live with that extra pitch range, I may still be learning but your obviously not done learning either, come on outside the box theres plenty of room

i sold a pair for 600

Ah damn where was that at when I needed it!

I know this post is a bit out dated but stumbled across it and was wondering what mixer I should get. I'm just starting out vinyl djing and want something good but. It to hard on the bank. Cheers.

If you have an SL box, any mixer will do.

so i just found some Technics 1200 mk2's US edition ( black ) with needles and flight cases for 800 bucks ? does that mean the tables were custom powder coated or? are they really special edition ?

im guessing tehcnics 1200s mk2pk ?

Dude any technics table you will get is fine mk2 are the O.Gs

I have mk2 I love mine I wish they where black doe

they would actually be labeled 1210's
mk2 1200 = silver
mk2 1210 = black

Technics 1200's mk2 / mkpk US edition guys ( glossy black finish ) . Special piano black ! The technics 1210's are matte black finish

Not necessarily. There are some 1200 's that are black and are not 1210's. I've played with some before. The problem with 1200's is that there are so many different variations that it's hard to keep track.

are you still looking for technics after a year? :P

Lmao no I had some mk2s 1200 buy sold them now looking for new tables

what mixer and/or serato box did you end up getting?

I was just using the technics with serato sl1 but I might get a ttm57 or maybe even sl3/4 I really don't see the need of 2-4 channels. Plus I'm really interested in theese technics 1200's mk2 US edition blacks .. What do say ? And mixer wise ? Maybe ttm56-57?94 pioneer ?

I love how this kids name is DJ Muro

Watchwww.youtube.com

.. That's my last name ...... So it's all good

日本語話せるの？！

last name or not.... google it and watch what happens... now imagine if someone googled to actually look for you. They can't find you for the fact that a well established person is operating with that name. Completely aside from any legality what so ever if your last name was McDonald and you opened a business of almost any kind would you call it McDonald's?
