I have run a Planar 3 for 15 years.My best upgrade was the Pete Rigglo VTA adjustment which houses the arm in bronze.The ability to adjust the VTA to match an LP is by far better than all the other upgrades I installed but you have to drill out the plinth for it.The next best thing is to put brass weights between the arm and the platter which I posted before Rega actually did it to on their newer model underneath the plinth.My Planar 3 with the sub platter,belt and counter weight upgrades out performs CD reissues,Lp reissues of 50 year old music on my original LP pressings.I would not buy another turntable without the ability to adjust the VTA.
Rega Planar 3 upgrades help.
Hi guys, i got a local deal cash on a Rega Planar 3 mint condition for $200. I would like to bring this table to a diferent level of performance. I think i will enjoy the upgrade process. I just want to follow what others had done. I do really appreciate if you take your time to share some experiences.
I am considering no necessarily in this order.

GT Delrin Platter.
Rega reference white belt.
