Rega Planar 3 upgrades help.

consider spending as much as a you can on a LOMC and using any money on additional mods on good records and call it a day.

The Rega upgrade bug can have you upgrading endlessly until you realize an entirely new/different table and cart is the real solution.

Interesting point!
I love rega sound signature. I don’t want to lose that.
I’ll do the motor kit
The GT sub platter
Reference belt
No the structural modes. At least for now.

Some Rega owners like the sound of the stock glass platter, others prefer either of the two GT platters. They are very well made, and relatively reasonably priced.

I have run a Planar 3 for 15 years.My best upgrade was the Pete Rigglo VTA adjustment which houses the arm in bronze.The ability to adjust the VTA to match an LP is by far better than all the other upgrades I installed but you have to drill out the plinth for it.The next best thing is to put brass weights between the arm and the platter which I posted before Rega actually did it to on their newer model underneath the plinth.My Planar 3 with the sub platter,belt and counter weight upgrades out performs CD reissues,Lp reissues of 50 year old music on my original LP pressings.I would not buy another turntable without the ability to adjust the VTA.

Put a Dynavector 10X5 on it for the best bang for your buck!!
