Rega P3-24 & P5 owners..........

I've been extremely happy with my Rega P3-24/Exact 2 set-up for the past nine months, and have just taken it way up in quality by adding the TT-PSU. Thanks to all the thoughts expressed in these forums, and those of many internet and written reviews, I finally made the purchase. As great as my analog front end sounded before, it now seems improved in all areas. Most significantly, I'm sensing a wider and deeper soundstage, a more focused and extended bottom end, a clearer treble and mid-range, and a smoother overall presentation. So, my advice to all my fellow Rega P3-24 and P5 owners......just do it, and put the TT-PSU into your system. It really does make a wonderful difference. Happy listening.

Thanks, Stringreen............I have my Rega table sitting on a "Vibrapod sandwich." A perfectly flat 3/4 " dense MDF board sits upon eight #1 Vibrapods, and the table, with its three stock rubber feet, sits on the MDF. It's a pretty cool set-up, and seems to work quite well.

After a lot of listening this past weekend.....WOW !! The TT-PSU is making every LP I play sound better. Of course, some of this perceived improvement may be psychological (isn't this true with a lot of our "audiophile stuff" ?), but I'm definitely impressed. Last night, I enjoyed Duke Ellington, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, and Dave Brubeck, and I can't remember these albums ever sounding so good.

Hi Musicpod........Prior to my current table, I had an NAD 533/Goldring Elektra for many happy years. This table was basically and NAD badged Rega Planar 2, and it played great music. Since I was really happy with the "Rega house sound," I decided to stick with it, hence the reason for my moving up the line to the Rega P3-24/Exact 2/ TT-PSU. Back in the 1980's, I had a Beogram 3404 table, which was a great complement to my Yamaha reveciver and Mission 717 speakers.

Bravo Ryder !!! I'm glad to hear that we agree on the benefits of the TT-PSU. I too love to listen to good guitar, and the TT-PSU definitely enhances the quality of the music. Try to get some Grant Green and Wes Montgomery ... Their records sound terrific on the Rega set-up, as do old Muddy Waters and Mississippi John Hurt LP's. Electric rock guitar is also improved with the TT-PSU, as my classic Allman Brothers and Led Zep records sound great.
Happy Listening, and keep on enjoying the music !!
