Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues

Update for those that saw my original post on the platter issues with my new Technics SL-1300G.

BEST BUY DID THE RIGHT THING AND WILL LET ME RETURN IT. Like many of you, they saw in the video a real issue at the $3300 price point.

As I contacted "Technics Support for United States," and never got to talk (purposely by design) to a human being, they failed to acknowledge the issue and provided me canned (and technically incorrect) replies and finally insulted me by telling me to check whether I had installed and tightened the platter mounting screws, I’m looking at another brand. Does anybody have a recommendation or thoughts on the Denon DP-3000NE. I understand it was recently released.

Sadly after owning two Technics turntables,  I am leaving the Brand. 

@dmorse6736 These guys are going to completely out of their minds when I say this but you could have a look at the Rega Planar RS Edition  https://www.rega.co.uk/products/planar-3-rs-edition which would allow you to pocket a few dollars or spend it on records or an upgraded cartridge like an Ania Pro or even a Rega phono stage and I bet you'd be as a pig in shit and never look back!

Though you could reveal the other equipment you have in your system so we could make suggestions regarding compatibility. I lived with a similar but older version for years that I bought new and accessorized based on my own priorities at the time and was extremely happy with it until I got the upgrade bug. Pictures of my RP3, Exact, TTPSU and other Rega components I owned are available to view in my profile if you want to look. Another interesting fact about Rega like McIntosh or Luxman for instance, depending on what dealer you're using, they have very good resale value especially if you want you to upgrade your system and you haven't Mickey'd around with modifications.

Why consider Denon with the multitude of t.t. manufacturers  out there? I may be a bit out of touch, but I wouldnt consider anything from Denon worth consideration. 

Cogging is a real thing, not something made up by audio engineers. It mainly is a problem with iron core motors. Read about it in wiki. Technics dealt with it in the past by increasing the number of poles and various other strategies. And yes, BD TTs use iron core motors by and large and can also exhibit cogging. Hence the rubber belts that ameliorate cogging but introduce a plethora of other problems. But the G series and the SP10R now use coreless motors that don’t cog. Faustuss is ignorant of this fact.
