the new $4000 Technics SL-1200

I ask the Technics rep why they chose the SL-1200GAE name with all the association as a "DJ table" when they obviously spend a lot of time and effort on upgrades? And they might have done more to differentiate the appearance. Someone else even ask why not the SP-10 Mk 4?

The rep said something about they were able to utilize a number of the dies from the SL-1200 series but I had the sense he agreed with us. He did spend a fair bit of time explaining the changes made to the platter, motor, plinth, support, and arm.

The demo there was useless, but I suspect a better comparison against competitors in the $3-6K range might hold up well.
