Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G

It would also be great if Technics offer a Motor / Platter only with a purpose produced Power Supply - Speed Controller. This would enable the user, more options on how there TT can be a end design, i.e, Plinth/Chassis Design where materials selected and end aesthetic are the end users choices. There will also be an easier route to choosing a Tonearm or Multi-Arms if this was the option.

The strengths of the Technics DD TT's are not made known because of the Companies selection for a Chassis.

no matter how many upgrades you make to SL 1200, and trust me the KAB upgrades are just scratching the surface, you’ll never get close to the level of the new ones. Or you can just scrap this whole conversation and go with the SP 10 MK3 or R. problem solved 🫢

My original post question has not been answered-

Can a reflex clamp be used? Spindle looks too short?

Much needed for some of my used gems. I can flatten most on my VPI.

 Dear @tablejockey  : About the use of Clamp it depends first how much minimum heigth needs the Clamp to function because different Reflex Clamps are not exactly alike in that specific regards and the other issue to take in count is the Mat thickness you are planning to use.

But a serious drawback in the 1300 is that does not comes with the Magnesium tonearm but Aluminum.

Regards  and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
