I get it completely. Maybe not with technics but I do.
Growing up as a kid we had a 14 foot Glastron boat with a 70 horse Mercury motor on it. The smell of that motor running and the sound it made meant that summer was here. To this day all my boats are Mercury powered and just the smell of a 2 stroke outboard running brings me right back to 10 years old again.

Again, you're talking about the product and it's performance and memories not the company itself. That's what I've been saying all along. I get that. If you told me you love whoever makes Mercury motors and hold that company in a special place close to your heart, well I still don't understand that.

You are wrong... think at some point you became confused about your own argument. Look at the quote you used in your post #10 in this thread. It says Technics is still in peoples hearts. It does not say the people who make Technics but refrences the company directly . Like in the quote you used, and as I believe the intention of the original post to be, Mercury marine is a company that is in my heart.

I'm not confused about anything except maybe why I let myself get sucked back into this senseless argument. It's not worth the time or effort. I should know better. I'm done.

I'm confused about everything. I see three different levels: the gear, the people, and the corporation.
To love the gear you just have to prefer the sound, the style, the build, the technological approach, or the combination, or whatever.
To love the people, you just have to be able to identify who was really responsible for the gear, like Avery Fisher, H.H. Scott, Saul Marantz or Frank McIntosh.
To love the corporation... some companies do come to stand for certain values. Other than that, I think you'd have to be an employee on their health or retirement plan. Otherwise, every time it gets sold, you'd have to start the courtship over.
Bottom line, I think people refer to a blend of these, centered on the gear, and in some cases certain people, and rarely, the company itself, to form their brand affiliation. Not a terribly critical distinction.
So now, I'm like cubdog. I've no idea why I bothered to think about it or comment... except to note that this is all an aside to the OP's point that Technics is being revived. Let's go back to that point, please?

$4,000!
Edit:
From Stereophile (in the link RGA pointed out below):
"The first 1200 "Limited Edition" examples of the new Technics SL1200GAE will be sold for $4000. The next 3 million will be "regular edition" 1200s and substitute an aluminum tonearm for the magnesium one. They will cost $4000 also."

Still trying to figure out where people are getting this price from. The quotes from the reps is that the price is still TBD.
