i can understand the "limited edition" one costing that much, but if the "standard" one costs that much, fuh-get-it. Just buy a Super OEM based one like Pioneer PLX-1000 which has some good reviews. Or do what I did, just buy a used SL-1200 for $350.

Holy shit, $4,000? I get luxury products, but this is basically the equivalent of a Jeep decked out in leather, wood trim, etc.: nice, but the antithesis of its real purpose. 1200's are direct drive DJ tables. They're supposed to be lugged around to shows, take a beating, and keep on spinning. Maybe there's some rich DJs that don't mind carrying around $4000 turntables....but if this is for home use and you have $4000 lying around, you're much better off with a belt driven high quality table (say, the Linn Majik LP12).

@3: ditto.

You can get them used for around $400. Ebay has a whole mess of them right now, and there's a handful on Seattle craigslist as well. You can spend a LOT less money and still be retro cool.

I'm pretty happy with my sl-1100 that I paid 20 bucks for at a garage sale

Not related but similar in throw back technology: Fuji has announced the end of the line for peel apart film for Polaroid cameras. End of an era.

I have a Technics SL-B2 that came with a nice Audio Technica cartridge for maybe $40 altogether. With a new belt it works fine. This thing isn't for me. This is a piece of technology for dickheads dropping thousands of dollars on the rest of their systems, not joes piecing together systems from high-end old stuff on a budget.

@8 Belt driven TTs suck for anything related to manipulation. Yeah, 4k is an insane price for new ones, but it's a well known, well regarded tool, not some toy for the rich.

Does the new manufacturing process literally take the money out of your pocket?

This seems like an obvious cash grab. Something tells me they'll be coming with a more "budget" model at like $1,200 by the summer.

Unless it can grow taller at will and sing like Jeff Buckley, NO. Use the four thous bucks for property tax coming due soon.

Please wait...
