N.B. THE 300 JAPANESE UNITS SOLD OUT IN 30 SECONDS! Purchased new from an authorized Technics dealer in Scarsdale, NY. Remains in the triple box in which it was received. N.B.“Yet, Technics is basically asking £2,800 for the new model!” you cry. Outrageous! Or is it? “And another thing, Technics charged that price for the limited edition model. Now the ‘basic’ model has arrived, they’re STILL asking £2,800!” Again, outrageous! But, as I found out, there’s more to that story than first meets the eye.
To address these questions, I managed to grab Technics’ own Jonathan Danbury for a quick chat.
Taking the points in reverse order, I wondered why would anyone want to plump for the limited edition SL-1200GAE in the first place? “There are a couple of differences,” said Danbury. “This first is underneath. The construction of the feet uses a different rubber type on the limited edition model. The main difference, though, is the arm tube. On the limited edition, it is made from MAGNESIUM but, on the standard version, the arm tube is made from aluminium.” FREE FEDEX NEXT DAY SHIPPING IN USA. PAYMENT DUE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE.
