I've just emailed the shop and asked for a refund.

Worse at 45 and even worse at 78. I put a sticky label on the platter and noticed it makes the noise at the same point every revolution.

It's definitely not right. I'm no expert but I wouldn't be accepting a noise on the motor.

Let's hope it's Third time lucky. Personally, I'd be complaining bitterly about it and trying to wrangle some free goodies. But I'm cheeky like that!!

You know you're properly on the hifi journey when you've had pain, been there done that, it really is a part of it in my experience.

Thing is you just have to keep your head because when it does come together you'll know it's been worth it :thumbsup:

Shocking state of affairs this, Andrew, and I hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction, ASAP...

Technics produced 100s of THOUSANDS of the old SL-1200, for over 40 years, when it used sell for £300, and every one could be relied upon to function faultlessly out the box. Now it sells for £3000, as a 'high-end turntable', and two you've had in quick succession are duds!!! :doh::rolleyes::rolleyes:

That's utterly pathetic and disgraceful, and says rather a lot a about Technics (National Panasonic) these days, and how standards have slipped. I'm afraid that after your shocking experience I wouldn't touch any of their new turntables with a bargepole!!!!

Doesn't bode well for the new SP10R does it.

Indeed! and going by this it does look like Technics Panasonic have a manufacturing process that is focused on bottom line, resulting with a production and quality side that appears exposed as lacking unfortunately

I can confirm that my SL-1200GR runs completely silently, at all speeds.
