The SL-1200M7B is a rugged direct drive Technics turntable that is best known as a long running DJ standard, with tank like build quality and strong durability for hard use. At $800, it lands well below current pricing for the unbranded SL-1200MK7 and is described as a strong value if the Lamborghini graphics do not bother you. The main tradeoffs are cosmetic, since the special edition is essentially a reskinned MK7 with silk screened branding, and it does not include a cartridge or built in phono stage. It is a solid fit for DJ focused setups or buyers who can live with the look.

  • The direct-drive design supports hard DJ use, including scratching and intensive mixing.

  • The turntable can be used without being limited by the Lamborghini graphics because skins or wraps can cover the look.

  • The $800 price can be a strong value compared with the unbranded 1200 listing price and historical pricing context.

  • The special edition includes wheel graphics as an exclusive vinyl platter pattern rather than only a removable slipmat badge.

  • The platter mat can be swapped for a different mat without replacing the integrated platter itself.

  • The purchase requires additional spending for a cartridge, and moving-coil setups also require a phono preamp.

  • The special edition's color and graphics can be a dealbreaker for buyers who dislike the visual pattern.

  • The special edition is essentially a reskinned MK7, so the extra cost may feel like branding rather than performance value.

  • The turntable may be overkill for home listening unless there is a plan to DJ professionally.

Any way to change the platter?

So this is a step up from the 1500C?
Why would you want to change the platter and to what? The platter is part of the integrated direct drive motor. You can remove the platter mat and put on a different one if you want to.

Never owned a turntable so forgive me. But yeah the logo on the platter held me back.

The 1200 has been the de facto choice for turntablist DJs for over 40 years, it's a Hip Hop icon. They're built like a tank, heavy AF, but there are ones from the 1980s that are still actively used to this day.

Is this a good deal? Im still new collecting vinyl and currently have audio technica at-lp70x with klispch r50pm and subwoofwer. Should I upgrade to this or just wait? I upgraded mine to green tip
If you plan on DJing professionally. Otherwise save your money as it's overkill for home listening.

for those of who can't stand the graphics, 12inchskinz have custom/metalic/non-metalic skin options available, and pick up some Dr. Suzuki slipmats from Stokyo.

If you go take a peek at the high end audiophile discussion forums, vinyl are all the rage. They provide warmer and more realistic sound, specially when used with tube amplifiers. There are some high end turntables costing $20K+ that are being made today with modern technologies!!
Im not new to hifi i have been around..
Just because something is a rage does not mean it make sense...

All you saying is nonsense!!

All of vinyl collecting, rather make that entertainment, is a waste of money. But people do it because they enjoy those things.
Enjoy cracks an pops??

Yes, the cracks and pops included. Vinyl is a terrible medium for sound quality. Anyone who collects it is fooling themselves if they think it's better than digital formats. But, like I said, people enjoy what they enjoy.

Get this mat to upgrade it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A8QA...asin_title

Also get the Ortofon Bronze Cartridge to make this a real good audiophile TT - several available on eBay cheap. If you are not familiar with setting up the cartridge you can buy with the Ortofon Cartridge with the headshell. Note the VTA will be 1 for the existing mat or 3 with the upgraded mat.

If your Receiver does not have a Phono in then you will need to get a pre-amp. Decent pre-amps are Pro-ject Phono Box S2 or Schiit Mani2.
The main difference between this and the SL1500C is this does not have a built-in amp and does not come with a cartridge.

This TT will last you a lifetime. Very rugged.
