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.

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.
I read elsewhere that the price is expected to be around $10K, much higher than many were expecting from Technics.

Trust me, it won't be $10k. The price will compete with Pioneer PLX-1000. Otherwise no sense.  True classic deck is back and that's what counts.
