I doubt it is scratchlive destroying the rca's on your technics. It sounds like your cables are faulty. This happens after long use of connecting/reconnecting cables to the box or rca outputs. Get your cables replaced it's not Serato's deal.

check the RCA Fluid levels on your 1200's. Most people never think to replace or even top off this stuff

if you take the platter off and it looks dry... get the RCA fluid and lube her up... fill her up.. make sure she stays full at all times.. running it dry can cause this problem!

I will tell you what I did when I had my SL1.... I NEVER once disconnected the SL1 from the mixer. The SL1 fit in the case along with the mixer so all I had to do was plug/unplug the RCA's off the SL1. When I sold the SL1, after a few years of use, it still looked good as new.

The main way I've seen people ruin RCA cables (of any kind, not just connected to turntables) is by grabbing the wire instead of the connector to disconnect.

Bonus cable-destruction points if that's done at any kind of an angle.

Also squishing up and crimping the cables is a bad idea. Especially if that's done with anything sitting on the cable.

If you want really durable cables on a turntable, change them out (or have them changed out) with Mogami cables/connectors. They should still be treated well, but they're much more durable than what shipped with Technics turntables.

You can either get your rca's replaced at an authorized service center, or simply buy some gold-plated short extension cables. One is cheaper than the other :)

I replaced mines 6 years ago and haven't had an issue yet. Try getting the gold-plated rca's instead as some of the other djs requested. They tend to last a lot longer.

MAKE SURE YOU USE PLASMA, TECHNIQUES ONLY TAKE SYNTHETIC!!!
