This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control. With each new improvement, as form follows function, the Technics turntable has become a thing of beauty. From the community centers at the beginning of the disco era to the clubs of today, the Technics SL1200MK2 sets the standard again, from a tradition that the series has championed for over 30 years.

The SL-1210M5G Grand Master Direct Drive Turntable offers even more features then the standard-setting SL-1200MK2 or the newly introduced SL-1200MK5. Technologically advanced tonearm modifications virtually eliminate skipping making it awesome for scratching, and now you can customize braking speeds to suit your applications. Another great feature of the SL-1210M5G is the zero pitch Quartz-Lock button and expanded pitch range options: ±8% or ±16% via computerized pitch control, with blue LED numbers indicating the amount of pitch adjustment currently applied. A second button next to the pitch reset button allows switching between the two levels of pitch adjustment. Less

Technics SL-1200 Owners...Use Your Head...Shell That Is!

by sam-pro , Feb 14, 2006

Pros: There's no substitution for a proper replacement headshell!

Cons: Perhaps a little costlier and a bit harder to find than universal types.

The Bottom Line: There is nothing like an original part when it comes to turntable headshells...especially for a Technics SL-1200 Turntable!

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: OK...why write a review on a simple tonearm headshell? Well...the fact of the matter is that over the course of my long and fun run of being a hi-fi bug, I have owned too numerous to mention various Technics turntables. Although I have never owned...
