I mean, Rega turntables are pretty highly regarded but I doubt they're better than my Technics (direct drive vs. belt drive pretty much). Rega doesn't list specifications like wow & flutter or rumble on their page as far as I know which makes them kinda hard to compare, though.

Edit: Just had a look at a Pro-Ject deck (the classic evo, which is $1,999) and both the wow & flutter (0.11%) and the rumble (-70db) are worse than my Technics (0.03% and -73db).

They're still really good specs but on paper they're worse than those of the SL-1900.
