The Rega, the Lenco, and the Linn LP12 probably speak 3 entirely different turntable languages. The SOTA might even speak a 4th language. So if you are a buyer, the best thing to do a priori is to figure out which characteristics you like best and which of those types gets closest to that. The answer will be different or can be different from one person to another. Do not believe the absolutist approach preached by Mijostyn at ever possible opportunity. If you're interested, I will tell you what I DON'T like about a Sota Sapphire, but why bother?
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
I currently have a Rega P3 that I’m generally happy with, but looking to upgrade and I’m in two minds. Go old school with Garrard 401 or keep with new tech and get a P10. Both are well regarded and there are plenty of individual reviews. However I’ve not been able to find a comparative analysis (not really expecting to) so i thought i would ask here. It would be paired with a Line Magnetic 508ia tub amp and Harbeth HL5 plus speakers.
I listen to a wide range of music, from classic jazz, funk, soul and classic rock but admittedly i spend the majority of my vinyl time listening to thinks like Bowie, the Smiths, New Order, A Certain Ratio, Chameleons or similar.
Any counsel?
