The SL-1200 MK5 turntable is Technics most recent update of the famed SL1200 series of turntables which has been the industry standard for decades.   Although not much different than the SL-1200 M3D, the MK5 does have some noticable 'improvements'.  Like the M3D, the SL-1200 MK5 has a recessed power knob and a pitch reset button. However, the Technics SL-1200 MK5 turntable sports a white LED popup light.  This replaces the origional incandescent bulb which often burned out.  Another improvement is increased anti-skate adjustment. The SL-1200 MK5 also comes in both black and silver Rating: 10/10

I have been using my mk5's for a little while now and I have to say they are amazing. I've used other turntables but these take the cake. The upgraded l.e.d. pop-up light is a great improvment over the mk2's, with its longer lasting life and brightness your sure to be able to play in the darkest of nightclubs. Aside from my non-lit mixer I can play these things with no light on other than the pop-up. It doesnt matter if your an aspiring dj or a seasoned veteran, these will fit your every need and look cool in the process. - DJ Rory Polhamus Posted on May 15, 2006
