Technics SL-D303 Direct Drive Turntable & Stanton 500 Cartridge & Stylus Free Delivery Included The world class manufacturer of turntables,Technics has produced an excellent performing turntable in the form of the Technics SL-D303 Direct Drive turntable. On power up, you have a rock steady platter by virtue of a well engineered main bearing and direct drive. Out of the box you first set up the 33 speed on the 2nd rim of dots from the top so the gyroscopic reader sees this turntable showing fixed dots for its intended speed. Switch speed to 45 speed and no further pitch adjustment is necessary - as strobe already displays perfect pitch adjustment at 45 speed – steady dots – clever Technics! Pitch adjustment is available to cover both speeds, if required, for fine adjustment or BPM beat matching for example. The Technics SL-D303 sports a superb rock-solid tonearm which employs a similar design principle as featured in the world renowned SL-1200 and SL-1210 models. The sound quality is clear with a rhythmic, solid beat, which I put down to the rigorous standard of the drive system and steady platter, combined with accurate tracking from a well designed tonearm. This Technics SL-D303 turntable does come with a lift-on-lift off lid. This listing includes the original Technics rubber mat & a magnetic cartridge and stylus. The Technics SL-D303 Stereo Turntable is tested & working. Partnered with a Stanton 500 Cartridge & Stylus, the Technics SL-D303 turntable is ready to “plug and play”. This is a UK Listing only. Free Delivery Included The Technics SL-D303 turntable will be delivered to your door on a 3 day courier service and will be suitably packed. cj2642 Specifications Type: Auto return, auto stop Drive system: Direct drive Motor: Brushless DC motor Control method: FG servo control Platter: Aluminium die-cast Speeds: 33.33 and 45rpm Pitch control: 10% adjustment range Wow and flutter: 0.025% WRMS Rumble: -78dB (weighted) Tonearm: Universal S-shaped static balanced tubular arm Effective length: 230mm Dimensions: 430 x 106 x 375mm
