I was mainly relating to the then audio press and belt drive manufacturers used the inaudible (to most) cogging as a reason to buy their gear. Now, subtly, Technics is saying "we rectified that (even though it was not a real world issue for most people) now our gear is better than ever" that they sure used the negative that others said & turned it around. Great marketing, after leaving the market totally for a while. Take a non-existent negative, fix that "problem" so it cannot be an imagined "problem" & now: 'better than ever'.

The peeps in the link made a pretty good living modifying the Technics 12** mk2 models and I maintain that *some* of the thinking was sound, as regards the under-platter mains transformer removal (my SL1500s have the transformer shielded and under the deck plate) and maybe the performance of the regulators used. They even did one mod which reduced the torque a bit, but you can decide if that was fashion or a genuine 'improvement.' There was an entire thing on the ArtofSound site once regarding heavy platters (then very light ones) and all sorts of jiggery-pokery to this deck that hobbyists love. I can't be a*sed with this sh*t any more
