I have a RP6. Made several mods using Groovetracer. Dropped counterweight and subplatter. Subplatter made an immediate and amazing difference. Hugely improved bass and general musicality. If the subplatter on the Planar 3 is still some type of plastic, I would get the Groovetracer mod as soon as possible.
The new Rega Planar 3
Rega has just launched the Planar 3 2016... only two components remain from the previous RP3. The high-gloss finish looks cool... black and white only. http://goo.gl/6JdX2Q

CZ, like everything else these days, it’s a starting base with some very nicely engineered aftermarket ad-on’s that improves upon an already impressive performance. The ad-on’s allow you to install progressive upgrades over time as budgets allow. Pretty much a standard for this hobby. If you have the budget and the knowledge, you can simply purchase a better TT, but if you are just getting into hi-fi, it can be a great way to learn about the many nuances of analogue. What you can end up with is a very capable TT Nice to know the first TT you buy can evolve as you do 😊 |
Mountainsong, these links detail all of my mods http://image99.net/blog/files/04fdba8476cfd21bdd7a5fdf38c8cdf5-28.html http://image99.net/blog/files/23c020f75290d3392577113371f4dc94-38.html My most recent upgrade was to a Soundsmith modified Denon DL 103 - superb!!! Especially with the addition of the brass plate There are many different companies like Michel and Groovetracer and those identified in the link, so do your homework and scour Audiogon for the experience of others. At $200 you got a bargain. I started 30 years ago with a Planar 2 - cost $225 new The sky is the limit 😃 |
