What is the best turntable for listening, since i am not necessarily into mixing or DJing as of yet. What's the best to get set up for listening? Or does it matter much? |

the technics 12xx model is the ODIN of turntables. there is no other. |

That's what it seems to be from looking around on the intro-net-cyber-space-world-wide-web. |

Now what is the difference betweein 1200 and 1210? |

Oooh, they are Canadian I see. Hah! HAha! |

Or maybe I'm wrong. That was technics keyboards. FUCK. |

i don't know if there is any notable difference. 1210 was silver and 1200 black if i remember correclty. i think there is some other things too but they don't affect usability |

The 1210s have a switch on the back so you can flip between 110 and 220 watts, US/Europe |

if you're just listening, it's not really that big a deal what type you're getting... jus' make sure it has all the decent features: both speeds (78 is nice too... but hardly necessary)... pitch adjusting (although, this isn't really that necessary either.. although, if you're like me, you like to hear stuff at all kinds of different speeds)... really that's all you need... my table has a reverse function, which is pretty nifty, but relatively extraneous... just make sure you get a nice needle that will last a while and won't fuck up your records... really, the needle is probably as important as the table itself... |

NO! a direct drive turntable is a DJ tool... if you plan just to listen then get a hifi belt drive turntable like a rega or projekt or second-hand linn, they sound infinitely sweeter! DO NOT GET A DIRECT DRIVE! |

I'm not sure I agree Loogie. I used to have a Belt drive table, and I've found a huge difference in the sound qualty when I bought my technics. Direct Drive did me right. But even more so Technics themselves just know how to make a perfectly balanced table. |

i doubt you would even be able to buy a direct drive turntable in a hifi shop the technics 1210 is not a bad turntable, it's just for the same money you could buy an decent belt drive. the goals of a direct drive are: durability, spin up speed, speed adjuster, quick change styli etc. belt drive: listening pleasure. |
