After decades of dominance, it's no wonder that when people think 'turntables', they think of Technics. Building on the industry standards set by the SL-1200MK2, the hot Technics SL-1200MK5 Direct Drive Turntable offers a number of groundbreaking features along with the time-tested functions made famous by the original 'wheel of steel'. Significant tonearm modifications have greatly reduced skipping and with customizeable braking speeds, you can really fine tune your performance. There is also a Quartz-Lock (zero pitch) button and a selectable pitch range of +/-8%. The long-life LED stylus illuminator is also a fun new innovation.
Features:- Quartz direct drive accuracy with continuous pitch adjustment up to ?8%
- Very high torque motor for quick start-ups (only 0.07 seconds stop to speed)
- Custom brake speed control
- LED pop-up work light
- Built-in anti-skate adjustment up to 6g
- Arm-end scale for quick weight setting
- Molded aluminum diecast cabinet and heavy rubber base material help absorb unwanted vibrations from the dance floor
- Professional Technics slipmat
- Highly sensitive low-mass tone arm with gimbaled suspension
- Includes removable hinge-free dust cover (not shown) and a Technics headshell (cartridge sold separately)
- Size: 17-13/16"w x 6-3/8"h x 13-7/8"h. 26.4 lbs.

Comments about Technics SL1200MK5 Direct Drive Turntable +:
This turntable is absolutely perfect for any DJ, whether you be a beginner that has no idea what the heck you're doing, or a pro who is performing live. It is sturdy enough to withstand any kind of abuse from "scratching" the binyl, and the body is indestructable. It is a direct drive turntable which is a huge plus, as the motor drives the platform directly by gears as opposed to a belt drive (driven by a belt) that will slowly wear out. This turntable is my favorite...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
