@mattmiller an opinion is one thing, but silly statements with no basis in fact…
Have you heard an SL-1000RE-S?
Definitely not mid-fi or a DJ turntable (nevertheless the original 1200’s were formidable)
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?

@baylinor I would think you'd want to make sure the base is level first!

@baylinor If the base isn’t level, how are you going to determine with a spirit level if the platter has a wobble? You were responding to @dmorse6736 ’s inquiry about a 1mm wobble, were you not? Buy the way, the stylus plays the vinyl record which in my experience is never perfectly flat! Interestingly, if we were discussing a Rega turntable with an alleged platter wobble you Technics heads would be completely beside yourselves with condemnation! Just sayin'.
