I've always been fascinated by the Technics decks as I'm very much into dance music.
I have a Thorens TD150 Mk 2 which does very well with that.
But I've always had a desire to own one of the DJ decks, I have a feeling it's the SL12-something. Stanton cartridge also sounds familiar.
I recall clubbing in my earlier years, at Peach at Camden Palace, circa 1995, stood up at the top in the middle, being absolutely blown away by the sound quality.
That was a theatre, so I guess well optimised accoustically, but I recall it even now playing one of my all time favourite tracks. It was a seminal moment. Quite incredible.
Obviously I've no idea what deck it was on, though it was clearly vinyl playing. Whatever it was, and I suspect it might just have been a Technics, it wasn't just a "DJ deck", it was incredibly capable.
