This probably means that we'll see the remaining 1200's drop to
rock-bottom prices. The MK3 is a superior model, so it will probably
take over as the standard of choice. There aren't too many
differences though, mainly a higher torque direct-drive motor, for
quicker pick-up. I find it hard to believe that 1200's haven't
changed or advanced at all in the last 20 years or so (when were they
invented, 1970-something or other?). In 20 years of R+D time, I'd
expect to see rack-mounted cartridge-loading laser stylus turntables
with digital tracking (jog and shuttle wheels) that never wear your
records out because the needle doesn't physically touch the groove...
Ahh... I can still dream about my own laser turntable...
