Saw this yesterday. Nice to them coming back. However the 2 I have are already feeling neglected.
I still have friends that are buying vinyl at the same rate they always did.

I don't understand why they have brought them back and not updated them with some features. I was hoping for extra features like the mk5G's had. 8%/16% pitch range, key lock, variable start n stop speed, optical out/digital out.

Although these days all those features are pretty much redundant as you can do that with software such as Serato, but still would be nice to have a digital out and an analogue without the ground.

I can see why they haven't updated them much, I have a set of mk3's and they are still sweet, but not as sweet as the 1200GE's I use. 😉

Bought my first pair in 1986 when I DJ'd at this place http://thevenuelondon.com/ back in the day. Gave to my kids ages ago and still going strong, they have never gone wrong, not once....

They just happen to sound great as well.
A stone cold classic, and a good antidote to HiFi snobbery.

Great to see them back.

Saving up already.
