Pioneer 500 turntable for mac 2013 upgrade#

The platter on the Technics SL-1200 is actually half of the motor with magnets built into the platter, then the coils in the plinth drive the rotation of the platter. I think the Technics SL-1200 started out as a HiFi turntable which turned to have great features for DJ use and then became the go to DJ turntable.

Technics SL-1200 MK2 wow and flutter is much lower at 0.01% WRMS, 0.025% WRMS (JIS C5521), вђ.035% peak (IEC 98A Weighted).ДЄudioTechnica fixed the anti-skate issue on all turntables leaving the factory since 2016 and retroactively issued a repair kit available for a few dollars to replace the faulty spring though it does require disassembly and repair skills. The LP120 is a cheap inferior copy of the Technics SL-1200 MK2. Like I said, those have QC issues, but if you find a good one, it's worth your money, but they also come in at $499 and don't come with a cartridge.

They'd be the Audio Technica AT-LP 1240, the Reloop RP-7000 MK1 and MK2 (mk2 is an upgrade with a higher quality tonearm base and some small different features), and the mixars STA/LTA (although the mixars have a straight arm version that can increase record wear and won't allow you to get proper tracking). You can buy them from a ton of different manufacturers, namely, audio technica, reloop, and mixars. The sound even with the bearings is quite good, and while not as good as my 1200, it's still an alright turntable. Those hanpins I was talking about before, those are actually quite alright turntables IF you find one without the clicky bearings and the wobbly platters. It's $249.99 however it does come with some trade offs, such as a lack of height adjustment. As for recommendations with other turntables, the Fluance RT-81 seems really good and I've heard good things about it. I've never used it, so take that in account, but it seems good enough for me. The yamaha just seems like it has a much more sturdy plinth with a tonearm that looks like it'll do a good job. The manufacturer also told me the tonearm was normal! No thanks. The bearings aren't tight enough so the tonearm clicks when moving it, very annoying and I don't know if it causes record wear but I stuck with it anyway because the used SL-1200 market around me is tight and I'd rather not buy one online without seeing it irl first. I bought one of the higher range hanpin 1200 copies for djing, a $500 turntable, and even those have qc issues with wobbly platters and the tonearm. They're pretty much just hanpins lower quality copy of the SL-1200, and for years had an issue where the anti skate was not working, from the factory. Wobbly platters, loose bearing tonearms, the works. The audio technica is from a chinese plant called hanpin, and they've got a lot of qc issues.
