Couldn’t agree more. It’s as of these people flicked through a price list of plug and play and tested on that basis. To be fair, this is the same criteria most people would use in deciding to buy a record player who had no idea how good record players can sound when set up properly and especially playing through a proper phono stage capable of revealing what’s actually going on sound wise. In my rig anything less than superb as a source can sound very disappointing indeed. In fact even highly rated budget kit can fall foul of such a rig. However, the difference in the quality of the sources would be very apparent and I’d expect the rega and project to excel compared to the Sony. The only shame here is that the reason for the rega using the belt speed changing method of moving the belt between pulleys wasn’t explained. That said I’ve heard projects sound good. They are by no means disgraceful in terms of either SQ or performance. Do in that sense this was a win for quality LP play back
People need to take this test in context.This comparison is for people getting into their first turntable and just want a plug and play system. They all do good for their price range. Match the Rega with the same stylus as the project or play them through an external preamp and the Rega would be winner thats why it has been voted the best turntable for that price range. forever. The Rega is expensive but lets not forget its built in Britain and has a lifetime guarantee lets try shipping your recent Amazon purchase and see how you get on. The likes of Technics, Linn etc.... are fantastic turntables but they are a completely different price range so shouldnt even be in the conversation.
He apparently doesn’t care about maintaining his stylus or cleaning his vinyl. If you’re making a close up video, common sense clean whatever you’re filming. I’m not very impressed, these turntable’s are too basic.
Of course, you need to have speakers that can also reproduce low frequencies. and large stereo image and a lot of sound details and preferably neutral sound
The Sony PS-LX310BT audio produced is lacking in detail, can’t reach the highs and lows. Amp used is Cambridge Audio AM10. Is this to be expected of the default stylus or do I need the stylus to run in?
a few years ago, an Asian tested both project and Rega. Riga won the test better contour in sound etc. and it was Rega 1. that test also included a $ 500 turntable from Sony
Rega Carbon cartridge are cheap AT-3600L with ATN91 stylus. OM 5E can be compared with AT-VM95E cartridge which from my personal opinion have better sound then OM 5E. Btw. This video is longest advertisement than I ever seen. Nothing helpful for everyone who want to buy good turntable.
The Ortofon cartridge would easily outperform the bottom of the line Audio technica AT-3600 with its carbon fibre cantilever. Those cartridges are on many entry level turntables. Also easily attainable online from China for around $20. They're not bad for a low end cartridge. The chuo denshi magnetic cartridge is even cheaper but sounds a bit harsh in high frequencies. It's less common these days, was on a lot of cheap turntables once integrated into the headshell. Newest turntable I've seen it on was a Numark and they put a sticker on it calling it Numark Groovetool.
There are several question marks surrounding this test. what kind of music was it. Were there several different types of music. Was it professionally recorded music etc. and was The speaker with really high quality
Rubbish, there's loads of overpriced stuff, clothing is a prime example, embroider a designer logo on them and the price quadruples over the same none branded item, of the same quality.
I own 2 harman kardon Mid 80s TurnTables both track an play flawlessely better then the majority of the crap people used today Ya know crosley an others not worth mentoning? the british models look nice as well shown? im more or less partial twords Vintage classics from Kenwoods the rock),other japanese oriented brands as well like Pionner DJ models unlike the ones shown, counter weights R Numbered for accuritre Tracking ... As said stick with Vintage! last an not least the last 3 turntables shown would really need about 2 weeks to be broken in an played continually with well recorded music,. im a real stikler for enduring quality from a good system I do read stereophile an A.Sound.....Those 2 did seem to know what they were doing!
Dude, the better turntables are the spring suspension sub chassis turntables from Thorens, Linn and Acoustic Research. I personally own an Acoustic Research that I bought new in 1985. The tonearm can be swapped out for a different one as I’m sure is the case with the Linn also. As far as the technics 1200, well I’m not a DJ so I don’t need direct drive, plus I like completely manual turntables.
Wireless and Bluetooth on a turntable is bullshit

No attempt to clean the crap off the stylus before playing a record? wtf!
He apparently doesn’t care about maintaining his stylus or cleaning his vinyl. If you’re making a close up video, common sense clean whatever you’re filming. I’m not very impressed, these turntable’s are too basic.
I thought the same. I clean my stylus every time I flip my record and use a carbon brush on the record each time. Makes a world of difference imo
Of course, you need to have speakers that can also reproduce low frequencies. and large stereo image and a lot of sound details and preferably neutral sound
I love Craig's rappin' rhythm while trying out these turntables.
You need to clean your records and stylus! 5 :46
Yep😢
Purchased a Technics 1200gr love it
Love it.
a completely different price range
Years ahead of these items on review here .
How often do you change the fluff on the stylus?
you did not check that the needle follows the track correctly. that is, it is set correctly from the factory. this is not always the case
The Sony PS-LX310BT audio produced is lacking in detail, can’t reach the highs and lows. Amp used is Cambridge Audio AM10. Is this to be expected of the default stylus or do I need the stylus to run in?
The Pro-ject has the better cartridge, it might have been a different story if the Rega wasn't fitted with the carbon cartridge.

@@FileFixer007 The Pro-ject offered a better cartridge at a considerably lower price, that's not the show's fault.
I may be old/school but surely the reason for bringing back vinyl is for the sound...why filter out the crackle..that's what made the sound!!!
Useless comparison.
not a fair comparison but sure!
It took me a few minutes to recognize Lister.
OMG .. I’m like ..I recognise that voice.
The rumble specs are the key.
That's right never mind the music feel the numbers.
Surely, a fairer test would have been to have used the same cartridge on each turntable? So, scientifically, not a fair test! 🤔
Yep.
the sony and rega actually have the same cartridge oem at 3600
You usually cannot select a cartridge when purchasing a turntable. but you can buy a cartridge separately
The Ortofon cartridge would easily outperform the bottom of the line Audio technica AT-3600 with its carbon fibre cantilever. Those cartridges are on many entry level turntables. Also easily attainable online from China for around $20. They're not bad for a low end cartridge. The chuo denshi magnetic cartridge is even cheaper but sounds a bit harsh in high frequencies.

They are reviewing the turntables as sold. The Sony and Rega both have the AT cart, and the pro-ject has the Ortofon.
Ortophon makes sweet cartridges.
There are several question marks surrounding this test. what kind of music was it. Were there several different types of music. Was it professionally recorded music etc. and was The speaker with really high quality
In order to arrive at a valid conclusion you would have to actually test 2021 record players! Which, I believe, is 10% of the those available. :-)
You always get what you pay for! Always!
I paid for the Brooklyn Bridge.....

Hilariously amateur.

Rega don't publish there wow and flutter specs .
Where are the expensive tables?
My Pioneer 518 still keeping me happy after decades
Dave Lister!
All future landfill.
laughable
2nd
Mmmm
this test is nulland void,, but with that being said i have never enjoyed the rega house sound
Oy ya Avin a fluff aren't ya for just a few quid south of the end and bob's your uncle
Rega over rated piece of crap. Had a Rega p3 yuk!
Can't help but feel it's more overpriced than overrated, I'm sure they sound great, but I'm not seeing the price there at all...
"Record players" or "turntables"?
Sony ?
Some people use the terms interchangeably, but these are turntables, record players are the all-in-one style
All crappy turntables! Technics 1200 is the Only one worth looking into. Build like no bitches business!
