 Hey guys, this is Kwame with The Verge and I'm in Panasonic's booth at CES checking out the new Technics SL-1200GAE, which is a descendant of the original Tech 12s from 1972. From when these were originally announced yesterday, you can tell that this is a beast. This weighs 40 pounds, which is a far cry from the original 27 pounds that the originals were. Now, this is a grand class edition, which basically means it's heavier, more stable, and basically provides better sound than even the original beloved Tech 12s that came out. Now, I've been told that this is a magnesium tone arm, which provides better stability along with a brass plate underneath the record right here. And you have a big aluminum enclosure here with rubber and more heavy feet. Basically what that means is this is as heavy as possible so you can create more stable plates so you don't have vibrations that get in the way of creating a good sound. Now this is available in a limited run of $1,200, get it, and it'll be available for the rest of the year until the standard edition comes out later in the year and it's going to retail for approximately $4,000. We're seeing a couple of record players at CES since vinyl sales are exploding at the moment. We just saw the Sony PS-HX500 turntable the other day, but this is basically the Cadillac of record players at CES. If you want to see more about this turntable, check out The Verge, and if you want to see more videos like this, subscribe to our channel on YouTube.com slash The Verge. And we'll see you next time.
 Hey guys, this is Kwame with The Verge and I'm in Panasonic's booth at CES checking
 out the new Technics SL-1200GAE, which is a descendant of the original Tech 12s from
 1972.
 From when these were originally announced yesterday, you can tell that this is a beast.
 This weighs 40 pounds, which is a far cry from the original 27 pounds that the originals
 were.
 Now, this is a grand class edition, which basically means it's heavier, more stable,
 and basically provides better sound than even the original beloved Tech 12s that came out.
 Now, I've been told that this is a magnesium tone arm, which provides better stability
 along with a brass plate underneath the record right here.
 And you have a big aluminum enclosure here with rubber and more heavy feet.
 Basically what that means is this is as heavy as possible so you can create more stable
 plates so you don't have vibrations that get in the way of creating a good sound.
 Now this is available in a limited run of $1,200, get it, and it'll be available for
 the rest of the year until the standard edition comes out later in the year and it's going
 to retail for approximately $4,000.
 We're seeing a couple of record players at CES since vinyl sales are exploding at the
 moment.
 We just saw the Sony PS-HX500 turntable the other day, but this is basically the Cadillac
 of record players at CES.
