New Technics?! SL-1200MK7R Turntable Unboxing

[@benji.B-side]

Lovely, beautiful turntable! Had my SL 1210s for over 25 years and still love them to bits!! They have never let me down!!

[@CJ-hr1ni]

I still have my 1210s too. These are ugly and cheaply made.

[@yanks1fan09]

I love my 1200 MK2 still the best turntable.

[@bartscheren3299]

Yep that's nice. Still got my 1200 MK2 here for many years. And they still rock like hell. Keep up the mixing and scratching. You're the best!!

[@renaissancegeek]

I still love my M3Ds- recessed power, no pitch click. Solid as the day I bought them in 05. I would appreciate the detachable cords tho

[@ralfwalter3923]

Looks amazing! I'm a jazz & rock listener but did buy a SL-1210GR and it's awesome. It's my second SL (my first was a MK5). No matter what the music - the SL1200 is amazing turntable imo.

[@FBA_AllTHEWAY]

It’s gone from “wheels of steel” to wheels of “plastic” I’m glad I still have mine From the 80s😊 Good video still👍🏾

[@DEFCUTDON]

Congrats on the new addition!Thanks for sharing the moment!

[@haroldalexis4200]

Technics the best, this is my first time I'm viewing this channel, I love this model such a shame it's limited. Thanks for sharing your time with this model!👍🎵🎼

[@Davehiphop]

I'll keep my MKII's thanks!

[@Wheel333]

The smile is real 🙏❤️🙏 I can fell it from here.

[@djfloss84]

I’ve had every techniques turntable model from MK2s to M5g grandmasters. Now I own a pair of MK7s I’ve had them for about a year now and not one single problem. The scratch and juggle properly and mix even better. Maybe they are too expensive for some peeps that’s why they don’t like them. But seriously these are great turntables and remember scratch bastid has been using them for about a year too Don’t see him complaining

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

Why are they so expensive compared to the original MK2s? And why are some people saying they’re not even as good as the old MK2s?

[@jkrooks2584]

Neural Tech they complain because they can’t afford them . They are just as good as the first generations. They are lighter but that doesn’t mean they suck. The pop up light is plastic instead of steel . They use a digital pitch fader instead of analog like the old tables . What that means is that you can hold together 2 records at the same speed for much longer than the old analog technics which is a plus. If you’re looking to buy one do it . It’s worth it . You will never go wrong with technics even the new mk7 . I love mine and to be honest I like them better than the old generations . I thought I would never love another turntable that wasn’t the old technics but this new one is even better except for the plastic pop up light . But to be honest I never really use it

[@jkrooks2584]

Neural Tech oh and the reason they are so expensive is only because of the name Technics. They are the daddy of all turntables !

[@coolxy2]

I own a MK7 and the pop-up light feels metallic to me... not as tank-like as on a MK2 though for sure. This and the start button are the only things I really prefer on the MK2

[@jkrooks2584]

coolxy2 I completely agree with you

[@djdiscoworm]

I HAD 2 OF THEM THAT WERE PLAYED AT STUDIO 54. I HOUSE CLEANED FOR AN ITALIAN DJ FROM NEW YORK THAT LIVED IN HERE IN SAN FRAN IN 2000. HE GAVE THEM TO ME AS BARTER. DISCOWORM DJ SAN FRAN 2020

[@DjKlin]

Nice.... looks sharp, I was expecting a lil freestyle scratch session in the end.... Next one?

[@SkratchBastidTV]

Yeah! Look out for this weekend at the Bastid's BBQ -- Saturday bastidsbbq.com

[@lucageraci]

Great machine!!! I have too my 2 Technics SL1210MK2 of 25 years old and they work again very very very good. Good music bro. Ciao from Italy.

[@parasmilegoddoors3319]

Wow it worked thanks bro my knob was stiff and hard to turn but i got it on i Will turn by power jack switch its new so i guess i got to break it in

[@64point55]

Hi I need information about the box! Is there a sticker attached to the turntable serial number in the box? or you can know the serial number after opening it and you can't know it first because it is only found on the turntable on the back... in correspondence where there is the reducer for 45 rpm records Thank you

[@garygillespie]

I was really looking forward to getting the MK7, but from my research I need to stick with my MK2s. The MK7 pitch control is messed up, and it appears they haven't resolved the issue yet. The pitch doesn't change from 7/8, so this can only go from 0 to 7. Also since this is lightweight and the bottom is not made of rubber, sound can travels into the unit creating feedback if you're by a large sound system. Also this is just cosmetic, but the dots on the plater are not machined even. I really hope these fix these issues, and I think it would be the best TT ever.

[@coolxy2]

It goes to 8. It just doesn't line up with the printed scale next to it. By the way, it's the same on the M5G and nobody seems to care.

[@garygillespie]

@@coolxy2 from other videos I've watched the platter speed doesn't change past 7.

[@coolxy2]

@@garygillespie I have an MK7 myself and don't care much about this tbh, but some guy just made an analysis regarding this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanPdYKbicRqlbM

[@laekro]

Hey, all SL 1210 MK 7's have this deadspot where it looks like the new MK7R no longer has this deadspot? The M5g has also had this dead spot in the past. Nevertheless, the turntable uses the full 8% & 16% as you can see on with DVS. The 8% are already reached with the number 7. I've had the new Mk7s since their release in 2019, and they are wonderful turntables. Don't concentrate on the numbers, just mix them, especially with vinyl you can tell how clean the pitch and the new motor work. I am very satisfied with the purchase to this day. Greetings from Germany

[@coolxy2]

@@laekro the recently manufactured models (including MK7R) don't have the deadspot anymore. But as you said, it was just a minor thing and not a real problem for me, too.

[@bluemantom77]

I salute you for having such sweet decks

[@djneedlz]

Nice Turntable....So, one question....Does it have the ultra pitch like the PDX Turntable....

[@fab122s]

I'm curious, what's the difference between the Technics Red bull Edition SL MK7 1200/1210?

[@EconomyDJ]

Table looks dope! Finally glad they upgraded the RCA and Power cable, but still don’t understand when they didn’t internally ground the unit. Either way it’s dope, and would love to one a pair.

[@andrewrees8749]

How much are these to purchase here in the U.k ? I had an old technics system in the early 80,s, it was awesome

[@djdrwatson]

They're not as good as the old classic MK2's, they're *A LOT* lighter. Look how easy it was to pick up and move these ones around. They don't make 'em like they used to.

[@DrHass-ji2od]

Reloop 7000 mk2 kills it.

[@danizm4165]

@@DrHass-ji2od for real? i have the reloop 7000 mk2's but was keen on upgrading to the new 1200's,

[@benk.3446]

True Boy my mk2 has just been refurbished and I would always prefer the mk2. Rock solid, relieable, oldschool.

[@TemujinScott80]

some don’t want to lug around heavy turntables anymore

[@coolxy2]

The bottom part is made from a glassfiber-ABS mix now. It is lighter, but also very durable. At least I own a 10 year old Thinkpad made from the same material and it took a lot of beating and didn't break. Also power supplies are probably much lighter nowadays. A bit more insulation rubber would have been good though, apparently the MK7 is not as feedback resistant as the heavier models. But then again you would probably want extra insulation in very loud environments also for MK2s...

[@MakingMadBeats]

Looking sexy, except the Red Bull Logo 😄 So, how does it perform compared to the 1200/1210 MK2 when mixing and scratching? THX

[@parasmilegoddoors3319]

Yo scratch I just purchased the same turntables I'm having a problem power on it seemed like the cord don't work and I see the other one works with the red light but I don't know how to turn the other one on I'm thinking it's the cord but I don't know what did I hit a button to turn it on or what all I know is the other one is red and is turning the spinning can you help

[@SkratchBastidTV]

hey there - try turning the top panel of the strobe light left & right to turn it off and on. If that doesn't work, try checking to make sure your power cord is securely connected underneath. Could be that it's not plugged all the way in.

Me too sort of, Sadly one died last year! Was more to fix than it was to down grade slightly and buy two new reloop 7000 for the price of fix one technics. But really pleased with 7000s and still got one classic technics just for listening to albums.

Can I get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in that zip lock bag also? Ill get hungry in my music room standing in front of new turntables all day!
