Why no Technics SL-DZ1200's? And Question about Numark NDX 800's

[Nicky H]

Yeah stay away mate, they look cool - even now - but they aint great for scratching on at all...

[Xonetacular]

They were a cool idea and are pretty, functionally not so great.

I'm still secretly holding out for a technics all in one controller

Why? I can't think of anything made by technics that's really impressed me. I mean there are the turntables themselves but that's been polishing something that was first made 40 years ago.

Have panasonic made any controllers? Hell do they even make any DJ gear any more?

^ lol nope

I'm pretty sure they're still doing Technics-branded headphones for DJ-use, and AFAIK, the SL1200 was never intended for DJs originally, was it?

The DZ kinda blows. Which sucks…because it was gorgeous.

If you use it with time code, it's probably passable…almost. But they kinda feel like crap.

I'm into turntablism and sold my 1200s to buy sldz1200s in 2004, because they were Technics and because I saw digital music as the future. I just sold them last year to make room for the Kontrol S4, which is a lot of what I ever wanted in a setup.

My take is that Panasonic just never innovated on the dzs, while Pioneer was pushing out new models with new features regularly... or so it seemed.

Technics made the 12s. A fairly major contribution to Dj culture...

Little diddy technics controller with them dot style platters would be bad ass!

Never gonna happen but would be cool if they made he perfect controller.

Just a little dream of mine

Thanks for the feedback guys! My price range is $600 or under... I'm thinking demon 3000 or 3500's used... The 3700s are just outside my price range. Also looking into a new fader... Thanks again!
