    That’s a nice turn table and you should be happy to have it. But, it is definitely not better than any deck you can get today.

        Rega Planar series, for sure. They are pricey, though. I’d hazard that there are some Pro-ject models that are likely superior at a lower price point than the Rega’s.

        Again, nothing against yours, it’s a good one. But there’s almost always something better, and in this case that holds true.

          I mean, Rega turntables are pretty highly regarded but I doubt they’re better than my Technics (direct drive vs. belt drive pretty much). Rega doesn’t list specifications like wow & flutter or rumble on their page as far as I know which makes them kinda hard to compare, though.

          Edit: Just had a look at a Pro-Ject deck (the classic evo, which is $1,999) and both the wow & flutter (0.11%) and the rumble (-70db) are worse than my Technics (0.03% and -73db).

          They’re still really good specs but on paper they’re worse than those of the SL-1900.
