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?

Mark me down as EXTREMELY interested. Thanks for sharing. I do wish they’d put a good autolift on these.

IMO, This table (appears) it could be at exactly the right price point.


I am almost afraid to ask …and I couldn’t tell from material…is it a hinged Lid?

I don’t like the non-hinged lids of the later 1200 offerings…or I’d already happily own one of those.  
 

when there is a lid…smoke them a bit…the look is infinitely more elegant!

 

(but this is still an awesome offering by Technics)

Ozzy appears to be looking for a scrap…asking how they might compare …then taking (exception?) to an answer.

Subtle as an oil spill, Ozzy!😉

Grow up, guys…OP happens to be asking about a Technics DD…let’s not push this into the primordial debate about Belt vs. DD tables…which … by the way…can’t ever be WON ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

FWIW, it’s illegal to bait game in my state! 🪤

 

(I’ve owned and loved both)

 

 

@lewm sorry …your post implied the core-less motor is gone?  Maybe I’m misreading or misunderstanding your post🤔. ….however, I just read it DOES use a coreless motor…just not the same.

 

what is your source?

The Technics SP10 Mk II is the model that moved me on from the regular use of

ID TT's that I had been loyal to for many many years.

The ID TT is the drive design that ended my interest in BD design TT's.

I can't see any reason to change, as I still occasionally use my ID TT and receive demo's of other ID TT's. I am wed to the DD Drives and my SP10 MkII with a modification for the Speed Stability serves me very very well.

Even crazier is the Mk II TT alone, cost almost the same as the owned Speed Controller used with the ID TT.
