| Rega P5 platter upgrade Hi, I have sold a few subplatters to owners of the Achroplat. I just need to machine it a little differently. The customer must to tell me when placing an order. Acrylic platters will be available in 3-4 weeks. | |
| P3-24 pitch instability The first video clearly shows that either the motor shaft is slightly bent or the more common problem being the hole in the pulley has cylindricity error. I would bet that is the case. The only way to fix it would be to get a new pulley from Rega.... | |
| Ever so slight platter wobble I watched the video. My observations are: The contact area is very small and close to the center of the supported mass. A larger diameter should have been used to support the 12" platter. It's just a bad design, coupled with poor execution or mach... | |

| ISOkinetik? It looks to me like he's copied the Rega RB-1000 product specifications from their website. I would ask how he polished the yolk and tonearm without taking the tonearm apart and disrupting Rega's strict assembly guidlines. It seems like a fair que... | |
| Upgrade modded P25 to P7 or uprade cartridge I would not sell your P25 until you are completely satisfied with whatever turntable you buy, should you decide to go that route. I know of a few people who had sellers remorse after being let down by their "new" purchase. The P25 was replaced by ... | |
| Rega P5 Upgrade:TTPSU,Platter Or Subplatter? Miner42 said, "I traded my P5 back to my dealer for the same amount paid and handed him $650 cash to balance the deal."Your dealer took quite a hit if he gave you that deal. It's $2,695 for a P7 and a total of $1,795 for a P5 with the optional pow... | |
| Carts option for Rega P5 + RB700 arm Rauliruegas, you said:If you already have that RB700 I think that you have to add the VTA option ( after market option. ) that is a must to have with the Rega tonearms instead to use those shims that IMHO can degrade the cartridge quality performa... | |
| VPI Super Platter - where is it? Srwooten, I buy acrylic on a constant basis. The manufacturer makes custom size sheets for me. The price has gone up considerably over the past two years but I have no problem obtaining quality acrylic. Are the people making comments about "findin... | |
| I built my own Turntable and here are the results That turntable looks very familiar, extremely similar (identical in concept) to a turntable I designed and built a few years ago. I only shared images of my table to one person, so I assume you are that person. | |
| disassembling a Rega P3? The motor and pc board are under the plastic cover. There are 2 screws that attach it to the plinth and it simply pulls off after loosening the screws. Why do you want to remove it? | |

| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt I only use straight profile non-convex/concave pulleys on my tape drive table. Anything else I tried didn't work anyway. I assumed that's what Teres used.Yes, it is a PITA to get the belt running properly but once set up, it's fine. You really nee... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction I think the correct term is "bearing drag", not bearing "friction". Friction would implicate 2 surfaces contacting each other and if that was the case there would be no place for oil, and as such, you would have a very noisy bearing. Furthermore, ... | |
| Kt-88's for ARC amp FWIW, This is what Kevin at Upscale says about putting KT88's in a specific ARC amp."ATTENTION! We are no longer re-tubing Audio Research VT100 amplifiers. Mk1, Mk2, Mk3... doesn't matter... no exceptions. " |
