Hi AK -
I have a chance to get an older Rega Planar 3 that looks to be in good cosmetic condition and no obvious functional issues.
But, I am hoping you AK experts would weigh in on the following;
- What, if any, are common issues with these tables that I should check before purchasing?
- How does this older deck compare with modern/new turntables? Is this of relatively lower quality than a current Rega RP3? Or, is it equal or maybe even slightly better in some areas? Would this Rega Planar 3 be of better quality than a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit?
- What year might this table be from?
Some pics are attached here, I appreciate the input/advice! tia
