I bought the SL1200G and fiddled with it quite a bit to add a 12" Triplanar arm on it. I have never heard such pure and unwavering tone in organ notes, piano, bells, etc., from a turntable. This coreless DD motor is doing something very, very well at $4k. (Now, I have not experienced the orgasmic glories of the very high buck tables that Mikey extols, so who knows - - maybe they would be even better.) I did buy mine new for 20% off, and I'm happy with the purchase. Just my experience, FWIW.
How can technics justify $4000 for a new SL-1200 turntable?
When people compare the new to the vintage you know the vintage will win because there is an agenda to make new versions of vintage gear with hidden ways to emit frequencies or othere ways to subiminally effect us in a negative way. just like when i said they were putting lithium in the drinking water and people said i was crazy and then they had to admit that they were indeed doing it claimed it was to keep people from commiting suicide because of the covid plandimic which is why i only drink shungite water.lt's all tied in together and music is one of there favorite targets friends.
