The Brand New Technics Turntable SL1200M7L - Are they worth it?

[@iangillon6981]

Sorry to say. These are really cheap feeling. The Target light, and start stop, ect feel like my kids toys. The plastic base, and feet are a joke. `Iv had these.` Reloop Rp7000mk2, are far better, quality. half the price. in my humble opinion...I do own x 4..sl12,10 mk 2`s. 30 years. These wont last 5.

[@IamDjCorrect]

I really like those reloop, I almost got mine back a few weeks ago. ( The dude was selling them higher than the price I sold him, ahaha ) yes they do not feel that robust when comparing to those models, but I stand by when I say they are amazing to play. And has a collector model the red is just extra spicy. I recently got a technics dmc mixer ( black and red ) the set up looks 🔥 thanks for your comment. Maybe in 5years I will do another video on how they are rolling :) bigup!

I also bought the red deck. I have to say the build quality does bother me a little. It does look and feel somewhat more frail, compared to my 12010 M3Ds, which are built like tanks, and still holding up nicely, after 20 years. Still a nice deck, though, and will take centre stage in my home.

[@IamDjCorrect]

I agree, but I feel like old cars where build like tanks either but they got safer and better. Just probably wont last like those models but certantly better. Good choice on the color ehhe Lets came here in some years and see if how we feel about them then. Have fun!

[@MichaelMentessi]

I love the various colours these came in, glad they've been popular too... my set-up suits black too much for being adventurous. Mixing is lovely on the MK7s though, I know they get flack for build quality, I really get why they didn't put them in the same shell as the 1210GR and there would be no complaints then. They defo have a different pitch to the GRs which feel different to mix on, I own GRs and MK2s and pretty much just use the GRs, would use these over MK2s if I had these instead too (but I don't have the nostalgic history with MK2s that a lot of others have as I owned vestax decks for the 15 years before I moved to Technics)

[@IamDjCorrect]

Nice! I have my Mk5, but been using for the last 6, 7 years reloops, had the 7000 and now the 8000mk2 and they are also very good. These ones will be just home setup. thanks for watching! Always liked the vestax, been keeping my eye on the 2a hand market for a good pair.

I don't understand why but brand new 1200's to use the phase system on them, I love using DVS for that real vinyl feel, I love putting the needle on the record like we did back in the mid 1980's Just curious that's all

[@IamDjCorrect]

I do like to use needles, but I hate the wobbling, the jumping, the dust. I still use them when I need. But between paying 300e for a pair of new needles, I thought in giving it a try with Phase now. I understand your point, is legit but have you tried Phase? Thanks for the input 👊🏼

[@CSdjcdog]

@Dj Correct no I haven't tried phase to me it looks boring, I looking at the tonearm move across the record

[@IamDjCorrect]

@@CSdjcdog I understand, and the habit also. So many times my hands just go back to the tonearm while I am using phase. I have them locked now and with no needles, on the first days I would just drop the needle on the record anyway 🤣

[@NastyRhythm]

I can't see the appeal of phase. As Corey said, putting the needle on the record (be it time coded or normal vinyl) is just all part of it.

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

Its not for noisy clubs....they dont have the sub-chassis wich isolates lower frequencies...Best choice is still MK5G (used)

[@grandadgamer8390]

Nice decks. Use to dj and dabble in pirate radio, as far back as 30 years ago. Too old and slow for all that now, but my 1200s were cherished. Just bought a single mk7 now, just for listening to my vinyl. Makes me laugh everyone kicking off about the price. In the UK back then they were not cheap, and there was more of a market. No CDJs, no controllers etc. Take that into account and relative inflation, I don't see the argument re price to be honest 😅 Great vid 👍

[@IamDjCorrect]

I love it. Exactly, I could not agree more. Thank you 🙌

[@PitbullRyu]

Purchased as soon as they came out, sent for assistance due to dead zone pitch, used for a short time because I sold them to buy the GR… Moral of the story… I put my old 1200mk2 back on the console.

[@IamDjCorrect]

Did you got them in 2019 or these 50year edition, my dead zone I fixed in 2sec after I new how to. I just keep loving them more and more. I was super frustrated with the dead zone, goes figure it was just a small calibration I could do home in 2 clicks step. Never used a Gr before. Thanks for checking out!

[@PitbullRyu]

yes in 2019, i tried with service mode but it didn't work. The GRs are more reliable and carefully built but the digitally controlled pitch screwed it up. I advise you to try the GR and make a comparison with the mk7 or M7L. Thanks for for the reply

[@IamDjCorrect]

@@PitbullRyu will do when I have the chance. I have a pair of mk5. That's what I have close to compare. And actually the pitch is something I am a fam of. I know technics screw up on those first models. The big question for me is more, will they last like older models? Thank you for the recommendation. Have a good one 👊🏼

[@anthizm]

​@@IamDjCorrect How did you callibrate the M7L? and where abouts did you find a dead zone on the M7L?

[@IamDjCorrect]

@@anthizm on description you have a link to just technics video where he shows how to calibrate. Basically from 7 or - 7 would not move the pitch anymore. Check his video is very easy to get them working properly 👊🏼

[@meganoid_9001]

Oi, todo bem? I am not Portuguese, but I love Portugal and Portuguese people (which I lived with during part of my studies), so I learned a bit of your language on my own. Anyhow, this is to ask for a question I cannot answer myself. I have two MK2 and recently bought a Pioneer PLX 1000. This latter is really very good and robust, but when I made a test using RPM app (on Android) I found that the WOW & flutter (basically, the average deviation of the speed around its sample mean level) is as much a twice that on an old MK2. Some people on the web claim that PLX does not match the beat for long. Now my questions are: 1) Do you have experienced comparing any Technics with a PLX 1000 and, if so, what’s your feedback? 2) Can you make a sample test using RPM app on your MK7 to assess the effective WOW & flutter on your turntables (and compare it with the theoretical 0.025 figure they claim)? Clearly, if you have no time to devote to this, no problem on my sight. Atè logo!

[@IamDjCorrect]

I honestly have no idea. I use a lot of the plx 1000 on club setup and I have no problems with them on my style of dj. I play urban music mostly and I do not have the need to mix tracks for 4 or 5min. These so far are the ones I felt they lock best the pitch. But I will certantly take this in consideration on my next review on them. Thanks, that is a great question. Obrigado 👊🏼

[@chrismurray3198]

@@IamDjCorrect reason I asked is due to lots saying the pitch is crap. I have heard others say the opposite so interested in an actual decent response 👌

Alright, I think in the video I am clear about the pitch problem and that is fixed. The first units in 2019 had some pitch problem, Technics fixed. Yes they are digital, but mine are just great and I know other people is happy with them, even when playing with serato that tends to wobble a lot, they just lock in. I have some mixes on my channel where I am using them. I have mine for over a year now and still very happy with them :) @@chrismurray3198

Mixing and scratching is better on the mk7 let's be honest

[@IamDjCorrect]

I like the way they lock with the pitch to mix. Scratching I can lt really tell what's best. I think it is not really about the turntable but the skills. I am enjoying them that's for sure.

[@SarahandLoganBenedict]

Did you have any issues with the skate? I posted a video on my page. Hoping it’s just a problem with that single unit. Waiting for my replacement. Nice review 💪🏼

[@IamDjCorrect]

Thats weird, I notice your first video the lever was up. But the second video I did not saw anything that justify the skipping. Also check the lock for the torn arm ring. I have been using mostly Phase on them, but when I did use needles I did not notice any problem. Also check @Just technics, there is a link in my description. I found him on insta also, send him a text. He might be able to help you. But if you get a new one even better.

I used to be into DJing, but nowadays I'm only playing records from time to time. I've got a white M7L and it's nice. The cueing lever could be better damped, but that's not an issue to DJs. They're lighter than the original 1200s - probably good enough for bedroom DJ, but idk if this is solid enough for club use... I also own a SL-1200G, which is on a whole other level... while the original 1200s were built like a tank, the 1200G is built like a tank destroyer. It's the alter ego of the 1200MK7.

[@meganoid_9001]

Hi, nice to read your post. Can you please help me unwinding a puzzle: they keep on saying G e GR are for audiophiles, while MK7 is for DJ. Leaving aside any cost-related considerations, which are the best, say the closest to MK2, for mixing (in particular, for beat matching)? And, above all: why? Thank you in advance for any considerations you might wish to share.

Hi, this is the video I was searching for! Thanks. Nice Mix by the way, I've favourited it :D One more question, I've seen the little things you have on the record before but I don 't knwo waht you call them. Do they send feedback from the record to a Laptop/pc or soemthing. Serato? Sorry for a noob question I just haven't been involved in mixing for 20 years and I'm thinking about buying some MK7's

[@IamDjCorrect]

Thanks man! And on anything I can answer, happy to. So yes, that is called phase. I have a video on them in my profile. But basically is that. They work with serato and its functionality is to substitute your needle on serato. If you have serato hardware like that mixer Rane 72, yiu just plug in USB cable and they are ready to rock. If not, you need to connect them with RCAs on your system. Check my Playlist on reviews and take a look at video. 👊🏼
