      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.

            1210mk5

            The 1210MK5G ran from 2002 to 2010 I think. Yeah, it’s even a little bit better than mine actually, not by much, though.

            It’s got the quartz lock, which is really nice. I’d love to have a 1210MK2 but, as you can probably imagine, their status among DJs has made them pretty much unaffordable for more casual listeners like me.
