Face it: drinking and records are two things that just go together. Whether you're blasting the new Hot 97 shit in the sweaty-ass club or lying in bed weeping gently and listening to your scratched up copy of Pink Moon (what?), it's always nice to have a cold brew in your hand. Enter Technics' new headshell replica keychain, which will not only draw stares from dudes who own multiple DMC World Championship DVDs, but also help crack open a cold one for you (and any little filly you might be courting). This thing is heavy duty (literally shit feels like it weighs a pound) and comes attached to a huge keyring, since I guess it's all the rage to have like 50 keys now? (So we can call you the piano man?) Recommended.

LAB POINTS

• Technics' top of the line DJ headphone
• loud output for club djing; designed to deliver clear, high-quality sound even at very high volumes 
• rugged design, reinforced joints
• comfortable fit
• swivel earpiece design
• folding design for transport 
• removable cord, locks into place 
• includes carrying pouch 

OUR OPINION

The RP-DH1200 is Technics' newest headphone model. In addition to the sleek design (check the polished, reflective ear pieces and signature Technics strobe dot design), the RP-DH1200 boasts a higher output and wider frequency range than the hugely popular 1200A model. Another improvement is the one-sided detachable cord, which eliminates a major source of headphone breakage and repair. Lastly, the RP-DH1200 is a very comfortable headphone with generously sized ear cups and soft padding. Recommended.

• folding design for transport 
• includes carrying pouch 
• coiled cord

OUR OPINION

We got a hold of this deadstock colorway of the popular Technics RP-DJ1200 headphone (it has not been available for a couple years). The only differences between this and the DJ1200a are the black colorway and the straight headphone cord (the DJ1200a has a coiled cord). The RP-DJ1200A has been our best selling high-end DJ headphone for several years straight. Professional DJs require rugged design and loud output in their headphones, and these delivers both. Recommended.

KEY FEATURES

OVERVIEW

The Technics 1200MK2 has been the industry standard for 25+ years. The Technics 1200 remains the preferred choice for all types of djing.

FEATURES

This is the turntable that first established the type of high torque (motor strength), accurate pitch (speed control), quality tone arm (aids in skip resistance), and superior sound that is required by djs; and after 25+ years it is still the standard by which all other turntables are judged. Every other turntable that has come since has patterned their design off this legendary piece of equipment, and the reason is simple: the 1200MK2 is about as close to perfection as you can get with a piece of machinery. It functions beautifully and the durability and construction are unmatched. The body and major components are made of steel. The bottom of the body is made of a dense rubber that eliminates distortion and feedback and adds extra weight for stability. Most of the basic parts are readily available and user replaceable.

MK2 vs. MK5

The differences between the MK2 and the newer MK5 versions are fairly minor and mostly aesthetic. They are as follows: the MK2 still has the "click" at zero on the pitch control;  the MK5 has a protected, inset on/off switch; the MK5 has an extra tonearm adjustment knob; the MK5 includes a slipmat; and the MK2 includes dust cover hinges. Other than that, they perform identically.

OUR OPINION

Our #1 recommendation. There is simply no replacement for a Technics 1200 turntable, and it's almost cooler to have this original MK2 model, without the unnecessary "new features" of the newer M3D and MK5 models. Regardless of model number, Technics still makes the best turntable available, and they are used in 99% of all venues. Resale value is also very high. Some newer turntables may have more features, but this is the superior overall product. When you use a 1200, you know you are using the best.

OVERVIEW

The 1210 M5G is subtitled the "grand master" and takes over the top of the line position for Technics' line of turntables. The major improvement here, and the feature which is exclusive to the 1210M5G, is the pitch control. It is now completely digital, which means you should never have the problem of mismatched pitch ranges, and it also gives you the ability to choose between two separate pitch ranges: the standard +/-8 range and the larger +/-16 range. The color scheme, style and finish are also exclusive to the M5G and includes a blue stylus pop-up light, blue lights for both pitch ranges, a unique metallic black finish, and brushed steel hardware for everything down to the 45 adaptor.

Other than that, the M5G includes the same improvements that the MK5 made over the M3D: include 1) the tonearm construction has been improved, which should lead to better skip resistance 2) the brake adjustment is now more accessible. Simply remove the record and slipmat and it's possible to adjust the platter's breaking time with a screwdriver.

OUR OPINION

The Technics 1200 turntable is still our #1 recommendation, in any model number. This "grand master" edition has finally made some serious improvements to the basic 1200 scheme, with the digital pitch control a particularly useful step. Aside from that, the M5G is the most unique 1200 this side of the limited edition gold 1200s and retains all the strengths of previous models. The feel and durability are unmatched. It is the best turntable available, and one that is used in 99% of all venues. Some newer turntables may have more features, but this is the superior overall product, and is the preferred choice for all types of djing. The high torque (motor strength), accurate pitch (speed control), quality tone arm (aids in skip resistance), and superior sound are the standards by which all other turntables are judged. The body and major components are made of steel (whereas most other turntables are made of plastic). The bottom of the body is made of a dense rubber that eliminates distortion and feedback and adds extra weight for stability. Most of the basic parts are readily available and user replaceable. The resale value is also very high.

OVERVIEW

The Technics 1200 has been the industry standard for 25+ years. The 1200MK5 replaces the 1200M3D, making a couple improvements along the way: 1) the tonearm construction has been improved. 2) the brake adjustment is now more accessible. Simply remove the record and slipmat and it's possible to adjust the platter's breaking time with a screwdriver. Other than that, this is exactly the same as the M3D, which had these differences from the original MK2: 1) power switch is sunken to prevent accidental turn-off 2) includes a button which overrides the pitch control to zero (regular speed) 3) no "click" at zero on the pitch control 4) comes with a high quality Technics 2 piece slipmat 5) Dust cover does not include hinges.
