Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
The video provides the same specification as in, um, the specifications!  If you need a new motor, from Pro-Ject, or Rega, your gonna have to call the manufacturer of the table. There is scant information in the specs because they don't want you ... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@knock1  Nice video. Says nothing about location of/and or motor type. Doesn't even show the bottom of the plinth. If you can't get me the motor type, just say so. I own one, so without taking apart to find a part number and voiding the warranty,... 
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
@lewm  Is it possible for you simply to admit you made a few innocent but incorrect claims earlier on in this thread? I’m sure you’re a fine person regardless. I only corrected you so as to help others who may be newbies.  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@knock1  Rega cartridges do not require shims. VTA is not an issue with Rega for that fact and the cartridge sits square to the record.  Tell me what VTA does for you? How does a VTA setting create better sound?  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@knock1  Every manufacturer clearly identifies motor type and its location. Your Technics is direct drive type turntable, the spindle of the platter sits directly on motor shaft Can you provide me with a motor type and location on the Rega P6?... 
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
@lewm  Mijostyn is correct. The volume is not doubled as you stated. the combined volume will be 21 dB down or double the power, not double the volume.  FYI- check your work before posting something that is incorrect.   
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@lewm I don't understand. Please explain?  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@lewm  I think Rega sees VTA as a non-starter as do I. VTA adjustments on all my previous tables (if you can call it an adjustment) proved nothing. Per the in-depth analysis below provides, there is a contention of science being involved, but it ...

@knock1      Well thanks for the tutorial. The NEO is not just a power supply but also includes the control board for speed. While it does look and seem as though the motor is under the plinth - rather than part of it as the plinth is only 1" thi...

@mahler123 ..or perhaps the pcb board (controller)? Cannot imagine how that could be faulty especially new.  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@knock1 explain yourself?   
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@mahler123   Overture, Wilmington DE. There are only two pieces that could interfere with speed. The motor or the belt. Theoretically, one could use a platter that is too heavy. Can't fathom anything else.   
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@mahler123  The PSU is the motor that drives the platter to go round. It can be inside the plinth or a separate gizmo as you called it. Hence, if your motor dies, you unplug the PSU and replace it.  The engineers chose to do it this way to reduc... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@lewm  I would guess that over 50% of "audiophiles" have not personally swapped out a cartridge. It does take a steady hand and when you get up in age and your cartridge is north of $500, it just makes sense to let someone else who is skilled at ... 
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@lewm  What an amusing rebuke.  I purchased the first Rega P6 from craigslist. The second P6 was new. It included the new chassis that Rega upgraded on their PSU offering (more metal; less plastic) as well as the reference belt (also included w...
