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

I am pondering a GAE / GAG and having it modded to take a Triplanar 12" arm.

The DD turntable might be good, but I not crazy about the arm.

I do think this combo could be a game changer.

Others on my list:
TW Acoustic Black Knight 
Tech Das III
AMG
Kronos

I run my current tables through a Steelhead.

This is my opinion of course but I would call the turntable 'excellent'. The arm really isn't bad either (much improved over the original SL1200 arm), but is bested by other tonearms, the Triplanar being one of them.

I would place the stock arm above other high end arms like the Rega, its more adjustable and better precision in construction.

Atmasphere,

Appreciate your input.

Thanks

I guess the consensus is the 1200GAE (or G) is a better performing table than the Luxman PD-171A (with the Jelco SA-750E 10" arm). The Lux is significantly more $. 1500-2000
