Advantages: Solid as a rock

Disadvantages: Heavy and pricey

After owning a terrible set of belt driven decks for a few years I decided it was time to invest in a set of Technics. At the time I was a student and had saved my hard earned cash to buy them. I had played on my cousins so I knew how good they were before I bought them.

The 1210's are basic but have everything a DJ needs with no fancy bells and whistles. Compared to my old belt drives these are a dream to mix on. Technics hold their pitch much better and you won't be constantly adjusting the speed during mixing. The motor is very strong and the platter will not stop underneath when you are cueing up a record. Also great for scratching on and will not jump provided you have a decent set of needles.


Some people say Technics are old and dated or makes like Vestax and Stanton now make better turntables. I have played on a lot of other brands and personally still rate Technics above them all. All the clubs I have been and played in have Technics so you are buying the industry standard with these decks.


I have had mine now for 8 years and since I bought them nothing has gone wrong apart from the pop up target light bulb not working. If you are thinking of buying Technics make sure you try other makes first then I guarantee you will see why these are so highly rated.

Summary: The daddy of all decks
