The 1200 is favored with DJs because of its unmatched build quality and endurance. In addition, the precision of its construction make it ideal as a high quality audiophile turntable for home listening. I have had a 1200 in my household for many years.
Is there a non-DJ version of the Technics SL-1200 Series?
Hey A-goN,
I think I recall mention on a non-DJ / Home Audio version of the venerable Technics SL-1200 series of turntables. What is the non-DJ version made for home audio? Is it the SL-1600? Is there a mk II-V, etc., like there was with the SL-1200? Does the non-DJ version command a lower price on the used market? Is there any down-side to the non-DJ version? Any missing features, etc.?
I sometimes see SL-1600, SL1650 and SL-1700 for sale locally. Are these worth owning?
Thanks for any information and recommendations.
