The best mod's are one's you can only create yourself. I've bought everything for my P25 but still feel the platter my daughter and I built and the thick sorbothane we added everywhere did the most by far. Beyond that, the Pete Riggle VTAF is most important.

experiment with mats -- I have the Audioquest Sorbothane mat and the Ringmat. Both have different sounds. re-wire tonearm with Cardas or other choices. Cardas worked for me. Change the feet - many options, mod squad soft shoes worked for me. You could try applying 3m dampning sheets to the underside of the plinth but I could not notice much change. |
The Rega 3 is a very under-rated deck. I've had mine for over 25 years and it has out-performed Linns and Sota Cosmos regularly. The trick is really the arm that you use.....I've used a 30 year old Hadcock GH 228 unipivot which the Graham and VPI unipivots studied very well when in their design stages. Also what helps, is making a thin platform out of 12mm laminated MDF with 3 adjustable screws positioned under the 3 rubber feet. This allows for EXACT levelling of the deck and rejects the absorption of air-borne low-frequency feed- back through the base. The Rega arm is NO contest for the Hadcock and you ain't heard the Rega 3 until you hear hear it with a great unipivot like the Hadcock. |
I upgraded my son's Rega with these sorbothane feet, and he describes the sound as "more detailed"
