Building on the industry standards set by the SL-1200MK2, the hot Technics SL-1200MK3D Direct Drive Turntable offers a number of groundbreaking features along with the time-tested functions made famous by the original 'wheel of steel'. Significant tonearm modifications have greatly reduced skipping and with customizeable braking speeds, you can really fine tune your performance. There is also a Quartz-Lock (zero pitch) button and a selectable pitch range of +/-8%. The long-life LED stylus illuminator is also a fun new innovation.
