Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
I reached out to a dealer and was told the SL1300 won’t be shipping until December.  
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
Ok, lots of good information in this thread. So what is the preference? The 1300G or one of the latest 1200 variants?

@tablejockey  That is the sticking point for me and I know it shouldn’t matter. But they look so pedestrian.  
Can anyone identify this equipment?
Robert Plant has a Replacements album?    It would appear so. Or at least, he had one…

I see what you did there……  
Power amplifier longevity… thoughts?

Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
The real problem lies in the fact that Dynaudio gets a real world break on manufacturing costs , but does not pass on one penny of that to their customers. I knew when I bought my Denafrips dac where it was made, but fully realized the price would...
