Rega Planar 3 to Oracle Delphi II, III and V, Sota Sapphire, Star and Cosmos IV, Transrotor Fat Bob, Custom PTP Lenco L75, Custom plinth Technics SP10, Solid Aluminum plinth Empire 208 and assorted others.
Is interesting to see most of the posters here went from a 1st or 2nd tier rega to a much higher end table (both cost and performance). I think in the $1000 to $1500 range the RP6 is a hard one to beat (I got a steal on mine). Looking forward to trying a AT33PTG/II cart on it very soon.
Never really "left" rega, but did embark on a series of upgrade including...
Started life as a rega planar II 30 years ago, then upgraded as follows - rb250 arm -SRM/TECH Deluxe Acrylic Platter - Cardas monolithic rewire kit - Michell Technoweight - ISOsub GT 2 S UPGRADE SUB PLATTER - Rega II Motor Upgrade kit
Now on my final upgrade to an audiomods series 3 arm
Also made a new plinth that works so much better than the crappy rega one.
In 1984 or 85 I left my planar 3 for the vpi hw19 mk iii with an sme v tone arm. But the rega was sure fun! (Had a grace 707 tone arm for the rega if I remember the model number right).
Was used with a great cartridge - the grace f9e (again I think).
All kinds of tweaks. Had a 1/2" strip of felt around the outside of the platter (facing vinyl) and a friction clamp on the spindle. Great sound for the $
