Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G
Hey Everyone,
An analogue newbie needs your advice.
Firstly I am not looking for any TT recommendations other than these 3.
My system is Devore O96, and the amplification would be either Lyngdorf 3400/Coincident Frankenstein combo or a Shindo pre/amp combo (forthcoming). The phono stage is TBD.
The sound I like is rich, full-bodied, with a good bass (I love percussion, and the double-bass instrument and Mingus is my fav jazz artist). I am very sensitive to even a hint of brightness. I don't care about the typical audiophile presentation -- gobs of detail and soundstage but no soul.
My music of choice is jazz, vocals and small-scale instrumentals. No rock, no pop, no western classical.
Would love your thoughts on these 3 choices.
Since I am a newbie, easy setup is big win, which might tilt me towards the Rega or Technics, but with Nottingham I have a great dealer support that I would completely miss out on if I went with Technics (no Technics dealer in a 5000 mile radius).
I used to own a Rega RP6, so am familiar with Rega sound, and like it. But my RP6 was bested by my DAC (AMR DP-777) so sold it a few years ago. So I want a TT that will compete with any sub-10000$ DAC.
Looking forward to your thoughts that will help me scratch my analog itch.
