The GAE was really EPIC. Every system is so vastly different in ways that one cannot fully comprehend till you start working in it. Room size, speaker size, phono pre-amps capabilities, etc. Owning a store I got to experience the GAE in my home by making a few mods, adding an isolation platform, isolating the cable, etc. I still have my GAE as Technics was my first turntable. One just develops a soft spot as it brings back memories of my JBL speakers, standing in line for the U2 release at Tower Records with about 3,000 other like-minded kids. I loved it so much that I saved 2 units of brand-spanking new SL-1200GAE in sealed boxes wrapped in shrink wrap. Call me crazy.

What a time to be alive - more innovation and refinement from one of the worlds best! I've been rocking an original fully upgraded KAB unit for a while, but be told the new units have always piqued my interest. Seems like they spent time and effort to improve the drive system mainly. Wondering if anyone had a chance to look through the specs?
