Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G

So the 1200G is the more expensive table, so it’s the better of the two? I am a Technics neophyte, so maybe someone could tell me how either one might compare to a VPI Aries II?

So the Technics is in a league above the Aries?

I don’t really know how else I could have asked the question. I’ve never heard a technics table, but have heard all the hype for many years. It’s something I would explore if it makes sense from a sonic perspective.

WTF are you talking about “taking exception”? All I did was ask the question. And when I received an ambiguous reply, asked for clarity. I’m not a VPI (or any other brand) fan boi. It was a serious question from someone who isn’t riding in their first rodeo and expected a serious answer. 

@tablejockey 

That is the sticking point for me and I know it shouldn’t matter. But they look so pedestrian.

Ok, lots of good information in this thread. So what is the preference? The 1300G or one of the latest 1200 variants?

I reached out to a dealer and was told the SL1300 won’t be shipping until December.
