Absolute stone cold killer of a CD player. This cost around £2000 in 1988, just think about that. Derived from the SL-P1200 which was made for radio stations with some upgrades for the 80’s audiophile. Very rare in working condition like this. Again, given its age there are a few cosmetic issues. Tested and working. No remote. I have been made aware this might be an import into the UK rather than a UK model. I can only think this unit has variable voltage to be used in the UK. 

Highlights

• Top-of-the-range model in the Technics range.
• Made in Japan.
• Built to professional standards with a massive chassis weighing 14.5-16 kg.

Technical features

The SL-P1300 was unusually sophisticated for its era:

• Four Burr-Brown PCM56P-K 18-bit DACs (four DACs, two per channel in balanced configuration).
• 8× oversampling digital filter.
• Optical and coaxial digital outputs.
• Balanced XLR analogue outputs in addition to RCA outputs.
• Variable analogue output with front-panel level control.
• Professional cueing controls, jog/shuttle wheel and pitch control inherited from the SL-P1200.
