Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G

I'm an admirer of the current lineup. Appears to be solid for the price point-$3200?

Once a Matt is on that platter, can a reflex clamp be used on that stubby spindle?

What do you DD users do with those less than flat gems found in the bins?

Looks like a solid refinement and the price is right. Can't go wrong IMO. I've had a SL-1200 with all the KAB treatments for the past 8 years. The new technics tables have me thinking... but i'm not so sure it'd be an upgrade from what I have now. I was originally looking at the 1200G.

Technics made a marketing choice to make the G look like the 1200, but under the skin they’re quite different, and the G series are better. Now might be a time to get a good deal on a G, when dealers might be changing over to the G2.
