Got into an argument with a member of Steve Hoffman Forum in the thread titled
"Audiophiles Once Loved Direct Drive, Now They Seem To Hate It" about Rega having a .2% wow & flutter tolerance on their lower end turntables and I asked him to prove it. Another member chimed in backing up this claim and provided images from Michael Fremer's Rega tour videos of a couple years ago showing clip boards on the wall in a QC area clearly denoting tolerances going all the way up to .3%. I really couldn't argue with that and became PO'd with the person who posted it. Needless to say I had to eat my words.
I really love my Rega turntable, I think it sounds incredible and I've experienced none of the issues that Rega's turntables are widely accused of on internet forums but trying to take pride in it and defend its's worthiness among other turntables in the marketplace (Technics for one) is absolutely impossible since people are able easily able to drudge up any amount of muck on them they look for on the internet.
I'm not going to try to defends Rega's philosophy any more and I'm seriously considering not purchasing anymore Rega product in the future.
Roy Gandy and Paul Darwin can stick up for themselves.
