Interesting new offering by Technics. I own the GAE—anniversary edition of the G. It’s a wonderful table. Reliability and stability are super. The adjustment options and framework for doing them are something I couldn’t give up. The Japanese engineering is first rate. One really needs to lift, touch, operate and listen to see what this thing can do. It’s a forever piece. I cannot part with this unit and I’m known to move stuff through my room a lot.
PS- I too wasn’t jazzed about the aesthetic looking similar to the old SL model. I had a custom walnut base made for it and I’m content.
