Technics SL-1300G Turntable - Is this the best value from Technics?

[@AceTechHD]

I would love to demo these honestly. I’d like to hear the difference between the old Quartz decks and these newer models. Thanks for posing!

everybody wants a technics, but whitout the "dj-buttons" ,and now i'm going to buy 1 to ,a sl-1300g ,why didn't they do this earlier .... this is how it must look for a hifi furniture, greats from Belgium

It looks great, but so close to SL-1500C. One can barely see the brass layer with the mat on. I wish it was more visible on the side as well. Like in SL-1000R.

Curious where it’s made - Japan?

Technics moved production to Malaysia

Ridiculous. Make a SL-1200 GR2 and a SL- 1200 G without out the speed controller and charge less money. So the turntables with the speed controller are superior. Really stupid on Technics decision making.

[@Matasky2010]

They know exactly what they’re doing- they just added a new price point with a deck that many people were waiting for.

@@Matasky2010 Yes, but it is not as good as the model with the speed controller. Screw Technics, buy the Dennon. It looks better anyway.
