The new Rega Planar 3

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

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 😃

Willie, sorry meant to say "platter" not sub-platter. Mind is mush!
