The SL-1200GAE Limited Edition was reviewed in the June '16 issue of Hifi News and Record Review. Gaining an 'outstanding product' gong and a sound quality score of 86%.
'Conclusion 'Brilliantly re-engineered, the new SL-1200GAE is a pleasure to use and to hear. It's still distinctly 'Technics' in it's delivery - with a wonderfully emotive sound that's fizzing with energy - yet there is also real subtlety and finesse now, unlike its predecessors. That magnificent direct drive motor imbues the turntable with a commanding imperious feel that so many price rivals lack. It is a legend reborn.'
Confused SL-1200 review: 'It has an S shaped tone arm, which is very cool indeed, and variable speed control, which is enormous fun. I haven't heard one though. (I have heard very many of the 'originals' though)
