I mean, if you like the Rega sound, go for it. I had a P3 and bought the upgraded power supply, sub-platter and platter. The sound definitely improved. The image was wider, background was blacker, it was able to handle loud and complex passages much better, but I still wasn't entirely satisfied with it. I ended up buying a Dual 1219 from fixmydual.com and liked it much better.
Rega Planar 3 upgrades
Hi Everyone,
I have a couple of quick turntable related questions for the community.
A little background. I currently have two turntable setups. One is a Clearaudio Concept with a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge. The other is Rega Planar 3 (2016 version) with an Ortofon 2M Bronze.
I've been thinking of upgrades for the Planar 3 and took the plunge on a new Neo TTPSU. Any thoughts on a Groovetracer sub platter? How close would I be to a Planar 6 at that point?
The Clearaudio MM cartridge that came with the Concept table was barely used when I upgraded the cartridge to the 10x5. I still have it laying around. Can anyone recommend to me a good relatively cheap (under $400) turntable that would be a good fit for this cartridge? I believe it weights 8 grams and has a tracking force of 1.9 to 2.5g.
One final question. Can anyone recommend a decently easy to use cartridge protractor? I need to learn to do my own setups.
Thank you
