Reloop RP-7000 mk2: Final thoughts..Better than a 1210?

[@jaygandhi3178]

I agree with this guy! RP7000 remind me of my M5Gs before I sold them

[@mr.noneofyourbusiness3234]

I love my 7000Mk2s

[@LoftyVisions]

Great vid and I agree wholeheartedly with you on these decks, mate. I learned to mix on Soundlab belt drives back in the early 90s and one of those horrible KAM twin cd player units soon after, then been through three pairs of 1200 Mk2s since then. Just grabbed a pair of Reloops recently and can't really say they are any worse than Technics to be honest, and i really don't know what the fuss is about the digital pitch that everyone moans about. I immediately had no issue whatsover mixing with these. Maybe its just my style of mixing because I don't ride the pitch like some do, but i felt right at home on the first mix and loving them so far. For the same price of one second hand 1200.Mk2 (in Aus) for a pair of these babies im not complaining. Got mine paired up with a Rane One and boy i'm a happy camper 🥳

[@njp4994]

I was thinking about getting these and you've just sold them to me. I think digital pitch is better because they seem to respond to fine adjustments quicker than the old analogue pitches

[@njp4994]

Just bought a digital fm synth too which sounds fantastic. Don't know why people moan about digital, I've got an analogue drum machine and prefer my digital fm synth hands down 👍

[@njp4994]

I do like my analogue allen and heath mixer though sounds rather nice

[@waynehick]

Great vid mate. Just had a pair of these for Xmas. Like you say they are built to last and I will never have to replace them. Pitch is spot on too. Strobes are dead on and once you lock in the beat there's minimal wobble. Bloody love the things and glad I went for them instead of the PLX 1000s or Mk7s. Where you get the slip mats?

[@ciarayboydj]

Me too my Friend. Got slip mats from Ebay

[@oldschoolanthems]

Thanks for the info.. I think I'm going to grab a set based on your recommendation. I was torn between the Mk7 and these, but I think I will go for these rather than pay for the Technics branding.

[@ciarayboydj]

Trust me mate these are the technics killer! I've tried both and the Reloops beat them hands down. Had my 7000s for nearly two years and they are solid! 👍

[@maverick242]

I bought two 7000mk2 in Glasgow, second hand, mint, also i bought a xone 62 there. I love them.

[@jasperhay]

I have a set of 1210s mk 2 but im needing new turntables with 16% pitch as the mk 2's are too slow for mixing some tunes together with Phase DVS essentials. These Reloops im definitely going to buy!

[@_alexanderd]

Thank you!

[@ferguson9383]

Have you tried the denon V12 bud? I'm on market amd debating between these and denon.... thanks

[@ciarayboydj]

@ferguson9383 hello. No I've not tried them and don't know anyone that has. The online reviews seem very encouraging. I wouldn't imagine it would feel much different to any other super OEM out there as they all use the handpin motor (excluding the denon) The things that set apart one manufacturer from the next is how aggressive the digital pitch is and how the turntables have been calibrated. In reloops case its never caused any issues for me. And I really like that torque from the reloop. I looked into the super OEMs exstensivly before making my purchase and for me the reloops won. If you've come from a technics background I'd highly recommend the reloops. I can't talk for any others as I haven't used them! Let me know your choice! 👍

[@ferguson9383]

@ciarayboydj thanks, I've never been technics fan lol I used to have the vesrax pdx 2000

[@iangillon6981]

have 12,10`s. But just love the Reloop RP7000 MK2`S

[@richmck007]

I come from a 1200 and a 1200 SL background. Loved your explanations but need to know a couple of things… Are they as quick from start to stop response and are they as simple to set up where the anti skating device is concerned? And does this brand do a Bluetooth / USB version?

[@ciarayboydj]

Hello and thanks for your comment. The start stop is selectable from near instant (to around 6 seconds) and yeah the anti scate is very easy set up - same as any other turntable. Re the Bluetooth/USB. That's a good question and I'm sorry I don't have an answer for that

[@richmck007]

@@ciarayboydj thanks…me thinks there is no bluetooth nor usb on this…

[@ciarayboydj]

@@richmck007 on the 4000s, and the 7000s definitely not. The 8000 is a bit more advanced

[@6Rhyme]

I had hum issues whit this deck ön my external preamp

[@nikmcd4559]

Thanks for your review, I’m nearly convinced, however..I’ve seen many reports online that the bearings on the tone arm etc.. can become loose after some time. Have you experienced anything like this. I’m not entirely sure where on the assembly it is being reported but it’s apparently an “easy fix”. IF you know what you are doing. Please reply if you have experienced anything referring to this

[@nikmcd4559]

The main reason I’m asking is because I really want to buy a set of 1200,s or 1210,s but if I could get the oem goat and not regret it I would be happy. Because I don’t have to search for old parts etc.. that’s my own personal argument but I think of this as my last set of decks considering they were made around the year I was born. I guess I’m asking if you were making such a decision for a set of decks for life… which would you go for?

[@ciarayboydj]

@nikmcd4559 never happened on mine or anyone else I know that's bought them. Trust me mate they are solid!

[@Manu_Nayar]

Recommend this unit for home set up not for Dj ?

[@ciarayboydj]

I wouldn't have a problem taking these to a gig. They are solid, heavier than the very disappointing mk7 1210

[@maverick242]

Those turntables sound good. Especially with an analogue mixer like xone 92

[@dannyedsers]

Hi mate, do they stay in beat at all? I hear they constantly drift off and dont stay in beat, you have to twaek?

[@ciarayboydj]

I have heard that myself tbf. Mine are from 2022 and don't drift at all. They hold the mix perfect
