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.
My friend has two of the current 1200 series (1210mk5?) and they are very nice. Not sure how they compare but it would be interesting if you know how to find the specs?
