I read the NYT article they are all slagging off, seems perfectly correct to me http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/01/bu...able.html?_r=1
Not really sure what their problem is? The new deck would never retail for $500 as the economies of scale no longer apply. Duh.

At £1300 I'd be tempted to give it a look. I wonder how it would stack up against a sensibly modded original SL. I'm sure this has been asked before no doubt.

How would stack up against an original unmodded SL1200? I'd bet on no discernible difference.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
