Quartz-Locked Direct-Drive Automatic Turntable (1978)

review this turntable (9 reviews)

Description

The Technics SL-1301 is a direct-drive turntable with remarkable features with only the best components, developed into a total system that performs like an engineers dream.

The SL1301 uses quartz locking and provides high torque without torque ripple, giving a build up time of 1.3 seconds.

It also has no perceptible slow down with high tracking force.

What's more, to bring this rotating wonder to a smooth stop, we've built in an electronic braking system.

It adds up to the kind of precision and reliability that the serious audiophile looks for, and that's a tradition at Technics you can depend on.
