Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary

Thanks for the information.  The TT will sold without any cartridge. Is the Nagaoka  available in  US. ?

The JT-1210 won't be available to US dealers, only to US dealers (based on the PR), honestly I don't know if the cartridge is worth the $800 usd or so difference and if nagaoka won't release it later under different model number

There was a used 1200g for $3400 today which should be close to the GAE, get a Hana ML and you could be close or better

NOOB here BTW

Don't buy Nagaoka MM or Hana MC. 

Discover much better MM/MI cartridges in the same price range with much better and more involving sound quality and advanced technology (better cantilever, greater stylus profile). 

Don't follow the mainstream group, to advice something a user must try many (at least). Some people just recommend what they use even if they tried only 2-3 cartridges, and we see it almost in every post. A cartridge can be improved many times, each time it cab be a better cartridge (different one) without spending much.
