Technics SL-1210MK5 Analog DJ Turntable (Black)
The SL-1210MK5 from Technics is a high-quality analog turntable designed for DJ use. The turntable features a die-cast aluminum platter, with selectable speeds of 33 1/3 and 45 RPM. It has a Quartz direct-drive and a brushless DC motor.
The turntable offers a variable pitch range of ±8%, and has a no-click pitch control, as well as a button that will instantly reset the pitch to zero. The electronic brake can be adjusted by removing the slip mat and making a simple tweak with a screwdriver. You can set the turntable to halt instantly, wind down slowly, or respond anywhere in between. The recessed power button helps prevent accidental shutoff, and the improved LED stylus light has a long lifespan.

Comments about Technics SL-1210MK5 Analog DJ Turntable (Black):
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that Technics changed the interconnects in 2009 resuling in capacitance that's too high. They then changed it back after realizing the error but my table has the bad one. I had to contact KABUSA to get the right one and then install it.
Beyond that, I'm glad I decided to get one before they're gone.

[...] it was a UK model with the wrong plug in... not a huge deal because it came with the adapter. Seems to work fine.

Comments about Technics SL-1210MK5 Analog DJ Turntable (Black):
I have used Technics 1200 series turntables professionally for over 10 years. I used to think it didn't matter how good the turntable was, but once I laid my hands on the 1200 I immediately knew the difference. I already had a Black 1210MK5 and needed one to match and not only was B&H one of the only places to have one in stock, they had the best price.
This turntable has been the staple of DJs worldwide for over 30 years. The design has changed very little in 3 decades and still it is lightyears beyond it's time. The turntable allows me to reach inside the music and manipulate it with precision. I started DJing with vinyl, switched to CDJs, and now am back to using vinyl to control DJ software. I know firmly that I will always use the Technics 1200 as my preferred way to mix music. There truly is no substitute.
