Technics

What is a Technics dealer? (Just kidding, of course.) I asked on here a bit back if anyone had noticed that the list of places to buy has greatly decreased in recent months. Last I checked, there wasn't a single Technics dealer in the whole of New England. Though I'd been interested in getting an SL-1200GR as my retirement turntable, I've been changing my focus of late.

Did you check Fidelis in NH?  They were selling Technics when I bought my SL1200G?  I purchased mine from Adirondack Audio in Queensbury, NY.   An  excellent dealer who has many obscure brands on display.  The store owner Jason Tavares, grew up 30 miles from me!

Thanks, @stereo5. I actually phoned Fidelis a couple of months ago and was told that they no longer carried Technics. When I mentioned that I had seen them listed on the Technics site but that they no longer appeared there, the salesman said, incredulously, "They took us off!"

He further said that they simply couldn't get any product from them for the longest time, etc.

How do you like your SL-1200G? What cartridge are you using? And what phono stage?
