upgrade or replace rega planar 3

Hi all,
Just looking for some opinions here. I have a rega planar 3 with an rb600 arm and a denon 103 cartridge. I have been bitten by the upgrade bug. My question is is it worth doind the various upgrades to the planar 3 sich as a deep groove sub platter and acylic platter, or should I just scrap the 3 and upgrade the whole table? Any opinions either way. My budget for a new table/arm combo would be around $1,200.
I listen to mostly rock and jazz.
Thanks

Do us and yourself a favour and upgrade first those Audioquest super-junk cales unless you already did.
I would definitely upgrade the table, Rega makes acceptable arms and lousy tables. Among mid-priced tables Nottingham should be on everyone's list in addition to others.

Orpheus10, that would be almost a new turntable, and it probably cost you another $1k or so. I would just see no reason to do that, nor would I trust a company that makes "junk" in stock form, be it turtable, car or whatever.
By the way, I keep looking for something to post in that video/music thread. Nothing so far.
