The final element in the Musical Surroundings Signature package is the Clearaudio Professional Power outboard power supply, which powers the Signature AiR motor and electronics. “The Professional Power supply uses a vibration-damped, toroidal transformer in conjunction with stiff regulation, providing clean power to the AiR motor,” stated a press release.

A discrete rocker switch on the rear of the power supply summons the unit to life, its presence reflected in a blue LED on the front. A plump, 1.5″ wide, tapered dial atop the plinth presides over the platter’s speed, a single press coaxing it into 33 1/3rpm, a second to 45rpm. A halo of blue light encircles the button when energized, a sensual design flourish that signals completeness, at least to me

For me the biggest news was the 1300G’s delta-sigma drive system: a digital rotational control technology that, according to Technics, suppresses microvibrations.

According to the Technics website: “The ΔΣ-Drive uses delta-sigma conversion technology to reduce errors in the drive signals, obtaining low distortion drive signals through highly precise PWM generation technology. It also helps to reduce the minor rotational inaccuracies and minute vibrations that cannot be picked up with wow and flutter or S/N ratios.”

This noise-reducing technology is assisted in its tasks by Technics’ Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply, which features active noise canceling.

The result of these new technologies, as I describe in my auditioning below, is a modestly priced record player that performs (noise-, speed-stability-, and momentum-wise) like those big-ticket luxury decks
