Has Anyone Heard the (fairly) New Technics Grand Class TT?

I’ve been casually following this TT. The 1200GAE (Anniversary Edition?) is a limited edition run of 1200 units which makes it "collectible". The 1200G is the same unit without the "AE" badging. The 1200GR (Reduced?) is a "light" version of the 1200G. It has a single "core" motor where the G has a dual-core. It has several other "reducements" which I’m kind of foggy on. I think the tonearm is not as sophisticated and the chassis uses thinner material, etc. Still your gonna save $1000 (and regret later on that you didn’t get the one you wanted!).

Dweller, to be precise, the drives are single rotor and dual rotor as the design is strongly marketed as "coreless". Sorry to be a pedant! ;)

Please post this on - New Technics 1200 GAE - post; try to keep all the info together.

Thanks

Dweller is right on his description of the differences between the SL1200 variant.
SL1200GAE and SL1200GEG are the same turntable, the GAE was the limited edition version. The SL1200GR (silver)/SL1210GR (black) are the lighter version with a cheaper "coreless" motor, no magnesium tonearm, lighter 2 material platter vs. heavier 3 material platter, etc...

My bad...
