I'd agree with that I've had a Rega for years, but my old Pioneer PL512 is a good deck too - was my first quality deck a lifetime ago !

Pioneer PL512!! First deck I ever bought approx 1976
I now have a Linn but only because I was lucky on Ebay around 15 years ago and got it for a quarter of the going rate at the time. It is good though, and Glaswegian, as its one of the earlier ones
As said before - Thorens/Rega/Project and I also have a hankering for Acoustic Research.
