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 !

For some reason the acrylic platter idea doesn`t seem as cost effective as some of the other changes.
I`m also leary of straying away from the Rega sound that I obviously like.

It`s too bad pictures can`t be posted in the forum because I`m having a bit of trouble envisioning Playpen`s setup.

I may continue beyond the counter weight but so far I`m not very motivated to do so.

Thanks
Steve
