I'm on a similar wavelength to Orpheus10.
I tricked out my 35 year old Planar 2 to the point it's not really a Rega any more - except for the lid and the power switch :-)
in order of best bang fro the buck
- Soundsmith modified Denon DL103
- Audiomods Tone arm with one piece loom
- metal Sub-platter & cereamic bearing
- Acrylic Plater - 1"+ thick
- Plinth (there are several brands all better than the Rega)
- Upgraded motor (did not really notice any difference)
If I had to do it over today I'd get VPI
Regards...
