The Technics brand is returning

But they won't comment on whether the 1200s are coming back ....

Technics made some ok receivers (I sold them in the late 70s) and great turntables. They upped their game in the 80s to some really nice high end gear .. then they got Panasonic-tized .. for mass market appeal and the stuff went to sh*t. It would be great to see some of the gear back.

Steve I too was an electronics salesman for about 10 years my favorite pieces from a mainstream manufacturer were the Elite line from Pioneer the M-90 and C-90 power and pre amp set

Sweet stuff .. that all came out after I stopped selling (around 1982). I did it during my college years. Sold a bunch of Technics receivers and Bose speakers (301,501,701). Sold a few Dual turntables (one to myself).

That Technics preamp looks a lot like the vintage Yamaha gear:
