TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever.

I discovered this morning that Technics announced at CES the about to be released later this year their premium Special edition 100th Anniversary Turntables. Head and shoulder's above the SL-1200G and SL-1200GR. The two new models are the SP-10R, which has an outboard power supply with no tonearm and will retail for $10K. Panasonic claims the SP-10R has the highest S/N ratio in the world against any belt drive or direct drive tables on the market. 
The other model is the all in one unit including tonearm, the SL-1000R which will retail for $20K. Only one word comes to mind looking at the pics this morning of the SL-1000R, DROOL! They upgraded and improved the coreless motor thats in the SL-1200G and SL-1200GR models. SME and SOTA, eat your heart's out!

Txh21y, please do enlighten us at to what you heard when you heard a totally maxed out Linn. What did that consist Of?
Even a LP12 Akurate with the new Lingo 4 will display far superior SQ than a 1200 G. Why, for the simple reason that the isolation that is inherent in the LP12 Akurate is far superior to the 1200G.
Another weak and unfortunate part of the 1200G is the tonearm...not going to have any comparison with any of the current SME arms...
YMMV
