Again to repeat myself the best upgrade I did on my planar 3 was moving and replacing the stock feet with brass with one between the arm and motor with 3m vibration dampening sheets and massive heavy brass on top again between arm and motor and the Pete Riggle VtAF.I like the acrylic platter and counterweight too.Maybe I'll try the belt upgrade next.My planar 3 sounds better than any CD I have.
Upgrade my Rega planar 3 or just move on ? update
As a member of various other Forums I know it`s nice to hear back with an update from those that have posted questions ( especially if you offered an answer or advice ).
I wanted to post back within the original thread I started but seems it`s gone.
Anyway..For ALL those that offered advice..Thanks !
A P5 was suggested as an upgrade from a couple of members within the Rega line . I looked around, did some research on what exactly the differences were between the various Rega tables and I decided to stay with my Planar 3 and build on it.
So to get started I stripped the paint off the arm and polished it.
I then added an Isokinetik (Cardas) tonearm rewire kit.
I added the new Rega upgrade 24v motor kit complete with the outboard power supply and White belt.
Lastly..the GrooveTracer Reference subplatter.
The only upgrade I might do next may be the counterweight.
Money well spent and Sounds great !
