Technics SL-P1300 CD Player : good transport ?


Greetings all,

Do any of you have experience with the Technics SL-P1300 Cd player **used as a transport** ? I remember this professional player being built very sturdily, and I have an opportunity to purchase one at a ridiculously low price (250$CDN), to connect into my Audio Note DAC Zero...

(And btw, does anyone know if it comes with a remote ?)

Thanks for your feedback !

No stock CD player will have less jitter than a DVD player. They are so cheap, you should just get an older top of line DVD player and get it modded.

It was reviewed in the summer of 1989 by Audio Ideas Guide, in July 1989 Stereo Review covered the unit as well. No on-line reprints available.

Here's the operating instructions:

I've only seen two for sale, one at $400 U.S. and another at $700 U.S. Neither mentioned a remote control, not surprising since this is a pro player used in studios etc...

I doubt you'll go wrong at $250 Cdn. Good luck, Jeff
hello,

Just got my hands on one in Montreal for about the same money. Yes , the p-1300 comes with a remote . You can also attach one via a cable for studio use or use a standard infrared remote. Great player.
