Technics SL40CBT - Build Quality Issues?
From the Technics website discussing the high precision tonearm.
While minimising the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.
The tonearm bearings are very loose straight out of the box. Much worse than any Hanpin turntable I’ve owned previously.
This doesn’t seem like micron-level precision engineering to me.
TLDR - Technics SL40CBT feels very cheap and extremely loose tonearm bearings.
