This is part 2 of my comparison between the Audio Technica LP120, and the Technics SL-1200. As mentioned in the description of my previous video (Part 1), I’ve noticed a significant influx of people on YouTube as well as numerous online forums stating that the LP120 is a better turntable than it’s original predecessor, the Technics SL-1200. These videos are intended to educate the obvious differences between the two decks. Of course the SL-1200 is better, but there’s a lot of false information that is being said online, and it’s important that the truth is presented. Both Part 1 & 2 of this video comparison is not a traditional comparison. The purpose of both Part 1 & 2 has nothing to do with the cost between the turntables, so please refrain from bringing this up.

A lot of points that were made in this video, were already demonstrated in a couple other videos that I’ve previously released, but it appears that it’s going to be better that these points are all demonstrated within the same video. I’ve also included a couple of other key points, that I did not demonstrate in my previous comparison video, along with one new disappointing discovery.

Also, for those of you wondering, I did request the anti-skate to be fixed when I sent it back to AT for repairs. I mentioned it on the phone multiple times before I even sent it back. It was documented on my phone call and the paperwork upon return. Why they didn’t fix it is beyond me. When I explained that it clearly didn’t work, they snickered and said, “Well you can send it back again, and we’ll fix it right next time.” Since I heard no serious or professional tone in their voice, I refrained from paying another 75.00 to ship it out when I already requested it once before. The bottom line is, unless you test your anti-skate on a flat (groove-less) surface like an Anti-Skate Calibration Disc or a CD, you will not know if yours properly works. The LP-120 was made cheaply enough that most of them likely don’t work.

Please watch this video in its entirety before commenting, and per my above explanation, understand my reasoning behind making Part 1 & 2 of this comparison. Let’s keep the comments clean, professional, and respectful, otherwise anything that is ignored from my descriptions will result in your comment getting removed. Thanks everyone, enjoy!
