RE: Lots of confusion about the 1200

FWIW, I was in Tokyo in October, and I spent some time in Akihabara. Every audio store, small and large, had the 1200G on prominent display along with the other audio components that Technics introduced along with the 1200GAE. So, at least in Japan, the product sells well.

I think this is a case where the Japanese were out of touch with Western biases with regard to how to market their new DD tt, as so often is the case in audio and for other products. My son works for a large video game company in Tokyo, and a fair amount of his work time is spent adapting their new products to appeal to Western (read "US", mainly) audiences. HIs company is at least cognizant of this issue.
