Technics Turntables...really???

Nah lewm....

Technics simply represents a bad memory from my distant past while their track record is not so great with several models.  My response is more a momentary from-the-gut reaction couched in hyperbole.  And, giving in to the brand most preferred by DJs would be a difficult association to live with.  

With that said, I believe Technics has corrected the sins of their past with some capable offerings.  However, there are few features provided by Technics that cannot be equaled or bettered by belt drive TTs.  For me, an ex-TT brand with a checkered track record is like an ex-wife....neither have warm spots in my heart. 

It would be better to post substantive comments on Technics TTs, than to rely on sarcasm. Say why you don’t like them. Like why did you get a divorce? Most DJs don’t even use TT s any more, when you can even find a DJ. You need to do better than that.

This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever read. The top-tier Technics tables are world-class and are equivalent to or better than belt drive or any other table. I have a SP-10R, and I use the accurate-to-0.01 RPM pitch control every day when I transfer old 78s that were recorded anywhere from 70 to 90 RPM. You can't do that with other tables. If I need the table to spin at 38.38 RPM when I'm making a half-speed transfer, no other table offers the same level of speed stability, not even the six-figure ones owned by audiophile multimillionares. You couldn't pay me to own another table.

  I love the speed stability of my 1200
