i want a new turntable ?

Hi Everyone
At the moment i have a rega planer 2 withe glass platter its black im not sure how old ,i'm happy with the sound but i find it is playing a little fast , i like the look of the Technics 1200 D/Drive it has pitch control and the build is fantastic, i just want a turntable with equal sonics to the planer 2 , will the Technics give me this or maby better ? its hard to audition one all the ones available in my area are sold through Dj stores and to me i cant tell if its up to the planer standard on there dj setups, i will use a Nagaoka Mp11 m/m cartridge, can anyone advise ? Thanks

Another fix is a router speed control that plugs into the AC line and then you can dial it to the exact speed. I causes no sonic or performance problems since the AC is for the motor only. Look at woodcraft.com or rockler.com to find one.

If you just want to fix the speed, which is a well know problem of your table, a layer or two of tape around the platter where the belt rides is meant to do the trick. I believe electrical tape is often used.

A search on VA for something like rega +speed +tape will turn up posts by those who've done it. That should fix your speed problem for next to nothing, and it will certainly give you equal sonics! :-)
