    Demoing original Rega Planar 3 (R200 arm)

    Hi AKers, I'm relatively new to vinyl, but I'm starting to get into it, and looking for a better sound. I currently own a Luxman P-406 automatic linear P-mount TT with an Ortofon 305 (conical) cart. It hasn't been a bad table, but I decided after reading a lot of upgrade threads that I should...

    [Purchase Advice] Bluenote or Rega

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about finally upgrading my P1 and need to study my options. I was inclined to Regas because I love the look and sound of them, but I found a pretty sweet deal on a Bluenote Villa Bellavista (Borromeo arm). Now, I had never heard about Bluenote before, but the deck looks...

    Hi all, I have a choice between these two used tables: Kenwood KD 500 with SME Series III arm and Shure cartridge Rega Planar 3 with RM300 arm The Kenwood costs a little more than the Rega, note: the Rega is the old Planar 3 not the new RP3. Other than one being a direct drive and the other...

    Rega P3 With and Without Spacers - Audio Samples

    Alright, so there is a bit of controversy over VTA and Rega turntables. Rega says it's insignificant and others claim it's critically important to maximizing sound quality. In regards to my recent VM540ML installation (Planar 3), some say a 2mm spacer will be required to achieve the best...

    Turntable Platter Wobbling Issue

    I have read and watched some youtubes regarding the said issue with Rega Planar 1. Is Rega Planar 3 with glass platter and RB300 arm having the same issue? And, as far as I know (and observed so far), most platters wobble a little bit, or, am I wrong? Are there turntables that are absolute...

    Older Rega Planar 3 pulley upgrade?

    I recently purchased a metal pulley for my older model Planar 3 but noticed (before attempting to remove the plastic one!) that the metal one was decidedly larger in diameter. The pulley is from Analogue Seduction and listed as a Rega part, designed for the P3, but I am guessing that there is a...

    Planar 3 versus MMF 5.3

    I'm pretty new at this and am purchasing my first TT. I think I've narrowed it down to the Rega Planar 3 and the Music Hall MMF 5.3. I've heard the Planar 3, but not the MMF 5.3 (can't find a local place that carries it). Do folks have thoughts on the direct comparison of the 2? I'm...
