The best turntable you can buy for under $1,000
By W. H. Jamison, Jr.
And probably under $2,000 or $3,000 as well. If you're like me and you still have some old vinyl around and like playing it occasionally or you're looking for an excellent turntable for recording your vinyl onto a more durable media such as MiniDisc or CD this is the deck for you. Incredibly solid and simple to use, the SL1200 with a good cartridge (I use the Shure V15 Type V MR) cannot be beat unless you spend 10 times as much (and perhaps not even then). I don't use the DJ'ing features such as the variable pitch but I do love the way the direct drive platter goes from zero to 33 1/3rd RPM in nothing flat and stays there. Again, this is a fantastic deck for recording your vinyl onto something else or just playing it.

By Armando M. Mesa
This table will definitely make any lp collector ecstatic using it for only in-home purposes (non professional/club dj use). The other and newer version of the MK2 is the M3D (which hopefully Amazon.com will offer soon on-line). Quartz speed accuracy,wow & flutter is maintained at an even higher calibre or excellent rate.It is top notch design.The extra added feature is a re-set button for the pitch control in case you want to go back to normal speed or pitch from any point of pitch you may already be on...My point being, either the MK2 or M3D are both exceptional tables. Fitted with a good Audio Technica or Ortofon cartridge or stylus (one does not come with either turntable) the first significant characteristic is the smooth and crisp clear bass and high frequency response you get from the beginning of the record to the end; It maintains the clarity througout.I personally have switched sources of the same album title from c.d. to vinyl to make sonic comparisons and the pristine clear sound of the Technics practically rivals the digital format (until you hear ticks and pops that come with record use). It does not sound like something is being dragged across a stone slab. Amazon.com offers a reasonable price for the MK2 whereas other so-called dj specialty shops may want to gouge you for an outrageous premium price tag.Remember, the Technics MK2 is great, not gold !...

By William Orange
While the 1200mkII is probably the best turntable around for DJ use I think it might be a bit much for the average record owner. It should also be noted that these tables go for around 450-475$ if ordered from an on-line DJ store.
