Quickly renewed my lapsed subscription and went straight to Reichert's initial review of the 1200GAE, it confirms what I heard in March - clean, great imaging, almost CD'esque sounding. The key question, as someone who owns a Mk5 1200 is whether or not I should upgrade the bearing of the old one to a Mike New Bearing and change the stock 1200 tonearm to a SME M2-9r or even IV. Will it come close to the new one or not? I suspect close but not equal it. Look forward to the follow up before I decide.
