Technics all day!

Technics have overturned the status quo in the turntable market. The craftmanship of the MK5's are unmatched. I tested the Vestax, Numark TTX1's and Technics 1210 MK5's. The Vestax and Numarks are great, I really cannot put them down. In fact I may get a set for my daughter to play around on. However, Technics are the real deal... not just relying on the Technics history or popularity.. but on actual hands on testing and comparing to other decks the Technics just feel so much better. The stability and strength of these decks when mixing, scratching, blending and beat juggling is superior. When rubbing the vinyl on the MK5's you can tell it is a premium product.

Technics SL-1210MK5 Pro Turntable

Yo, I used to rock the numark TT1650 but I upgraded to this right here. I can honestly tell you that it's much faster and stronger in torque. My skills improve alot. With this right here...I'm seriously thinking about participating in the next Spin Off. The motor last forever. It doesn't slow down for nothing.
