Turntables: Technics vs. Rega?

Question

I'm buying a turntable and am trying to do some research. I am only going to be using it in my home for personal listening, not DJing or anything. I read a lot of rave reviews about some of the Technics models, but one mentioned that Rega is better for home use and Technics for DJ use. I couldn't really find anything on-line but I'll keep looking. Hopefully someone on here could put in their 2 cents? Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

Hard for me to answer this one. I use a Technics SL-DL1, with Shure RST-III cartidge, and it performs great! That said with current production models, I'd pick the Rega today. Their bottom of the line model should do as well as a top of the line Technics can today.Get on to web sites for magazines like The Absolute Sound or Stereophile and  dig into their reviews. I know Stereophile has recently reviewed the entry level P1 Rega, and liked it.
