I'm buying a new turntable, and my two main candidates are the Rega P3(24v) and a Technics SL-1200mk2. The Technics seems like it would have more longevity, but Technics turntables are really expensive where I live (Norway). Well, that is to say it costs about the same as a Rega P3, but the Rega seems to be in a much higher price class than the Technics in America. Would I get more for my money with a Rega P3, assuming it costs the same as a Technics SL-1200mk2?

andretti posted:You're starting to get into the quality realm where you have to listen to both TTs and see which one you like better. However, if they were the same price and I couldn't listen to them both, I'd get the P3. I've listened to the P3, and I liked it a lot. I've always been interested in the 1200mk2 for some reason, though, which is unfortunate because the only stores that sell them here are DJ-shops, and that would mean having to buy online without getting a chance to listen to it.

Pibborando San posted:The Technics will have the edge in pitch stability and accuracy. The Regas are known to be 1% too fast on average. The Rega arm is better than the Technics' though. HOWEVER, the 1200 has an incredible upgrade potential. Check out kabusa.com They sell mods and accessories for the 1200 that will transform it into a truly high-end deck. Since I live in Norway, buying anything from kabusa would end up being incredibly expensive, due to shipping cost and import tax. I don't really know about any comparable Norwegian sites, or I'd consider that. How about something like the ProJect RPM5 or RPM 6.1?

Pibborando San posted:I was looking at the RPM5 before I decided on the Technics. Here's a good review. I'm not really sure what to get, though. I'd probably get a DL-110 for the Technics and use the stock pickup on the ProJect, at least in the beginning. I assume you think the Technics is quite good even without the modifications?
