Technics SL 1200G status and availability?
I bought a 1200G last year, and ended up getting a demo unit, most of the hi-fi shops that sold them were out and waiting for more. I don't know about 'making them as fast as they can', as a main point of these is that they are hand-built audiophi...

Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?

'Wine, women, and song' evolved into 'sex and drugs and rock and roll', as Ian Dury's song goes, and I am totally down with that! I don't drink wine, but cannabis sure goes well with music!   
180g … It’s All Hype !
@bdp24 - I used to have that Dave Mason LP with the swirly colors back when I was in college, when it first came out. Excellent sounding recording, too - we used to use it to judge sound systems!  You were a product buyer at Tower? I used to be a...
