I don't know, but I want to try a set IF and WHEN they come here. 
Release oversea's is around september 7th. I knew Technics couldn't stay out of the CD era.
If they turn out to be the same quality as the original 12's, the competion will have to go back to the drawing boards. (The Denon DN-S5000 and 3000 come to mind).
94EG6HB and I were just talking about this CD turntable last night! Spooky.

It looks as if the platter acts JUST like the old 1200's.....even down to the pitch strob light!
I also understand that it's a direct drive platter just like the old 12's. wow.
I'm flabbergasted.
and to think that my B-day is just around the corner. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Another person that should not be in a thread about something he doesn't know anything about. Go post ***** somwhere else.
The Pioneers and the Denon's (as well as others) allow you to .....
Scratch
backspin
transform
Basically ANYTHING you were able to do on a regular DJ turntable.
The Pioneer has it's good and bad. The platter's weight being one of them. It relies on sensors under the platter to sence the movement of the disc. If you don't give it enough preasure, you won't get the scratch effect.
Denon on the other hand, has an optical system that doesn't need the kind of preasure/force to manipulate the platter that the Pioneer needs.
Here, check this simply demo with a Denon unit.
(the Denon has a moving/spinning 7 1/2" disc that spins as the CD plays......the Pioneer doesn't) This gives the "feel" of a real DJ turntable.

Cut and paste....it should start to DL. The video is just to show you some of what it can do.
Now, i was told that the Technics has simular features to the Denon. The only diff if the Technics uses a direct drive motor to spin the platter interface....the Denon uses a belt, which can slip over time if you abuse it. Also, it uses a 12" platter.......just like a real SL1200MK2.
What's the matter 94EG6HB, cat got your tounge?

they are CD's....what do you think?
Records have a warmth that a CD does not have. But I have tried the Denon's, and i was like...
Since the platter on the Denon is smaller than a rugular 12" record, it takes some getting use to.....but I'd really like to try the new tecnics to see if they feel "normal" to an old vinyl spinner like me.
IMO, the closser they can get to the "feel" of a real DJ record turntable, the easier it would be to switch over to the digital side.
Mind you, there's something about having a record onder the tips of your fingers that hard to duplicate.
so did you see the video?
