I would also add the acrylic platter as opposed to the stock glass platter. You have a choice of two different counterweights. Which one is easiest to install might be the deciding factor. You have what is equivalent to a "Sota Star Sapphire".
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 !
