How does a huge electronics corporation celebrate the anniversary of the world's most successful turntable? By releasing a special limited edition of the classic, without really changing anything significantly. If it aint broke, don't try to fix it.
We took the liberty of translating the Japanese into techy-English.
1 – The S letter tone arm features OFC (oxygen free copper wire)
2 – 3 layer shell enclosure for maximum acoustic dampening
3 – Improved pitch control
4 – Long-life blue LED
5 – Proven reliability
Only 1000 units of the SL-1200MK6K1 (black) and 1500 units of the SL-1200MK6 (silver) are slated for release. Grab yourselves a piece of DJ History while you can.
