Nice to see them back in the game. Pricing?

There is a lot of love for the SL-1200. I feel certain this new edition will be well embraced.

Who sells or will these new higher end Technics items? Do you know?

According to Mike who photographed it at CES, see the other thread, the LE price is over USD$4K.

It has a very quite direct drive apparently.

I want one for a second TT, but I have not been able to ascertain who will be selling them.

It's a cool looking table. Quiet too. Fun too in a nostalgic sort of way. Technics back in the day was sooooooooo close to perfecting the DD, I wonder what improvements they've made around micro vibrations from the motor.

Bill, We are a Technics dealer.
We had a visit from the Technics people yesterday and I got to spend time with the person who did most of the design work on the SL-1200GAE.

I'm also interested in a LE for a 2nd system.

Could it be as good as the old reference Denon?
