Technics Direct Drive Turntable System

Bought it last year love it sounds very good. Also have AT lP8x its also very good but I think Technics has little more base into its sound LP8x sounds little more thinner maybe. Technics is very good.

I received this TT as a Christmas present in 2014. To be sure, I was pleased with my present tabie abd thought tge MK7 would probably be a lateral purchase. Add that to tge fact that I'm norv DJ, but a mid level audiophile listener and I felt this gift might be a mistake. I was wrong The MK7 easily outperformed my previous table. It revealed much more of the miduc than I had anticipated. Even though it us fold as a DJ tabke it easily performs as a audiophile TT. First, I noticed the well thought out construction. It was obviously well made with all controls having a nice top notch feel. The tonearm, feet, platter, and on all function well. If there is one complaint it's the detached dustcover, though it fine with me. I can't find a thing on which I could complain. It's a great tabke at a great price for audiophiles and DJs.

Excellent performance, very good features and unbreakable.

I've been a Technics customer since the late 1980's with my first rack system. The 90's with my first A/V Dolby Pro-logic Receiver. What I look for in purchasing audio equipment from the manufacturer is "accuracy". This deck is documented as "New". However, it was manufactured in 2019. It's the last of the diecast metal buttons, and 45 adapter. The product was also known for its weight. Although I love this deck, Technics needs to come back down to earth. The price goes up, but the quality is gradually decreasing. Plastic buttons, plastic 45 adapter. Plastic where diecast metal was used.
