Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues
I recently purchased the Technics SL-1300G. I like the sound of the turntable. Unfortunately, I found the common complaint that the lift mechanism feels cheap. Additionally I found a perceived quality issue shown below. The silver bands on the top and bottom of the beveled platter edge vary in width by a mm+. In my opinion it makes the table look cheap, not the quality you would expect at the $3300 price tag. Note the gap between the platter and the plinth is uniform as the platter rotates. Would you return the TT hoping to get a platter with more uniform machining?

@billstevenson but, but, but, my room temperature isn’t 20°C
Surely my vinyl will sound like crap and I have to get to that temperature 😅
Matt’s assessment of Technics is funny to me considering Technics turntables are some of the best when it comes to retaining value and actually being used without jumping to change stuff.
I guess he doesn’t like that. As for OP, their issue only they can answer if they wanna keep or return said turntable |
