New Rega P3 RS owner


Love this deck. Reading that i should upgrade the sub platter to a Groovetracer reference sub platter? Will I notice any kind of difference ? Worthwhile upgrade ?TIA

I would just enjoy for a while...  I think maybe older P3 would see a benefit.  They have redesigned the subplatter on the RS with a machined version. 

This is the most refined P3,  it's a great table stock.   Enjoy 

Since getting a new player in December I have picked up several great LPs used in excellent condition.  Cheap.  $7 -$12 on average from several sources 

I thought I would have picked up a new cartridge because I used my existing arm and cartridge.    

I'm glad I held off and added some great cheap records to my collection. 

Enjoy and do the same until it's time for a new cartridge and then go up a model or two. 

If you feel like you need to upgrade the turntable you just got – without living with it for a while and deciding for yourself if and what flaws it has – I have to wonder why you bought it in the first place? Seems a bit puzzling to me to spend money on something you're not entirely happy with from the start.
