It's Back - Technics SL-1200 MKGAE

I would think that some are going to scream from the rafters with joy while others will shake their heads with distain.

But I am sure we are all going to interested.

I for one applaud Technics for paying attention to the vinyl resurgence and responding to its huge worldwide fan base to bring this legendary turntable back.  I know there have petitions going around for some time but I really didn't think it was going to happen.

I don't need it but I think it's good. Especially for younger people who can't pay thousands for a turntable. Put Grado Gold or whatever cartridge and there will be acceptable engaging sound.

Don't know what other folks think, but I think this is huge news- 

if if the arm is better than on the last version, and the price is right, this could be a killer deck

Boy, that looks good. But with the improvements and the limited anniversary edition, I suspect it'll be quite a bit more than the $500 I spent for an SL1210M5G at Guitar Center several years ago.

It’s very good news. I wonder if they were watching the successful release of the Pioneer PLX-1000. The Technics must be twice the price.
