it's hard one to call... I think a deck should be judged on its durability and not just its standard performance.
To me the 1210's can take a lot of punishment and still deliver... the question is can any other make of deck keep up its performance over the same amount of time that a technics one would.
I just don't have enough experience on other decks to make feesible judgement.
Anyone on here owned and used both models for same amount of time?
I personally, stick with technics... (that's until I have a reason not too!)
