I recently moved from a Rega P5 to a Technics SL-1200GEG-S because I was not able to get my Zyx cartridge working well with the Rega, despite of playing with VTA spacers, VTF (+ exchange of the CW with an heavier tungsten one) and AS (from none ot max). Azimut was looking good (visually + test records).
In fact I have never determined the origin of my issue. It looks to be an incompatible match between the RB700 arm and the Zyx Ultimate SB. Before the Zyx I had a Golding Eroica LX that was playing very well.
So, looking at a new turntable I set 2 non negotiable points: VTA adjustment (on the fly or almost) and a removable headshell. And a third point being a dust cover (when the TT is not in use).
I went finally for the Technics and I can say that I cannot be more than happy!
This TT is almost plug & play (however I used a protractor for fine cart adjustment), a strong motor torque, very stabilized rotation, my Zyx is finally singing very well, etc... And I can even play the records with the dust cover in place. Also, the stylus is going down to the record very "vertically" which was not the case with the Rega. I haven't tried any test record on the Technics yet, I just performed the adjustment by ears using mono records and the sound is excellent, may be I can fine tune and get more from this TT+cart.
