The Technics SL-1310 mk2 is a high-performance turntable, originally released by the Japanese electronics company Panasonic in 1979. It is part of the Technics SL-1300 series, which is widely regarded as one of the most influential and iconic turntable series in audio history.The SL-1310 mk2 built upon the success of its predecessor, the SL-1300, incorporating several improvements to further enhance the listening experience. Some of these features include:- A new direct-drive engine with an extremely stable and powerful torque, which eliminated the need for a belt that had previously led to poor tracking and wobble.- An all-new tonearm, the S-shaped tonearm with a unique vibration-damping mechanism, providing high-precision tracking and stable reproduction even at the lowest frequencies.- Improved AC motor control, utilizing a microprocessor-controlled wake-up circuit that preserves low-level information and minimizes noise, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio.- The use of high-quality components and materials, including a new slip mat and a precision-milled acrylic platter, resulting in superior tracking capabilities and increased sound quality.The SL-1310 mk2 has remained a classic and sought-after turntable among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts for over three decades, thanks to its unique combination of superior performance, reliability, and timeless design. In fact, it is still regarded by many as one of the best turntables ever made, and continues to be produced in limited quantities by Technics' parent company, Panasonic.
