![]() ![]() It just doesn't sound in control compare to a Rega arm and the top end especially sounds a bit muddy and closed in which overall makes it seem a bit mechanical and uninvolving. Where the stock arm really lets it down is control. In stock form it sounds much more solid than the Rega and times much better with drums starting and stopping in a far more realistic manner for instance compared to the soft focus of the Rega. The Technics is a different animal altogether. Set up to the best possible extent in stock form the Rega is probably the more musically satisfying of the two and although it lacks real weight behind the instruments it bowls you over with sheer exuberance. Both need to be on a very good isolated foundation like a wall shelf without which the Rega sounds cheap and nasty and the Technics sounds noisy and old fashioned. I have lived with a Rega Plannar 3 and several pairs of Technics SL1200/1210s over the years. They are both good starter decks but the Technics has real potential with a more modern arm. Just out of curiosity, have any of you heard both on the same system (with significant listening time)? Originally Posted by asdf /img/forum/go_quote.gif ![]()
