We know that you're die hard. We DEFINITELY know that there hasn't been much on the market lately that could ever replace such a timeless piece like the 1200. But once in a while, there comes a time to think about making the move to something different. While Technics will last forever, those that don't have them pay top dollar for em. Those that do have to become experts in the world of repair.
The new Reloop RP-8000, without seeing it, might be regarded as just another turntable. But after seeing this baby in action, there might just be an alternative.
Claimed to have torque 350% stronger than Techs, the RP turntable definitely shows something stellar. We can't say for sure if that number is accurate, but it's strong....REALLY strong. The power behind the engine can easily be felt in the deck with a few strokes of your hand.
That built in MIDI controller (on the 8000 only), yeah that rocks too. Toss your Dicer and utilize this epic feature. Worried about your tonearm stability? Don't. The controller is built on a separate chassis, preventing you from bumping the tonearm while rocking out after 5 Red Bull and vodkas.
At $799, it might be more than what you'd pay for a single deck on your local Craigslist (The RP-7000 with no controller is $599). But the investment is well worth it. It's beginning to ship now, and we have no doubt that you'll enjoy what the RP-8000 has to offer no matter how rookie or veteran you are on wheels of steel.
