The upper end of the Technics line looks awfully nice (and substantial).
Solid reputation and very good reviews. I don't have personal experience with the newer ones but the old 1200 series we very solid.
Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp)
Hey all,
This has been my system for years:
-
Line Magnetic LM-218IA
-
Davone Ray speakers
-
Shindo Aurieges preamp
-
Rega RP10 with a Dynavector XX-2 cart
The Rega’s been good to me, but I’ve never fully loved it. It just feels a bit light and fragile—both in physical build and in the way it presents music. I’m looking for something that feels more grounded, stable, and confident. Obviously I’m also looking for something that would complement the LM and the Rays.
The Shindo I do like a lot, but if there’s something out there that keeps the musicality and adds a bit more clarity or grip or that works in conjunction with any turntable recommends, I’d be open to hearing about it.
I listen mostly to rock, electronic, ambient, experimental, some jazz.
Budget is around $10k all-in.
Appreciate any recommendations!
