REGA - MOTOR UPGRADE PLANAR 3

Over the past few years Rega has pioneered through cost effective and sophisticated electronic circuitry - the advanced fine-tuning of their already superbly quite motor. Rega's electronic expertise has allowed them to take this technology in a passive form down to their budget turntable.

The new P3 motor upgrade uses no active electronic trimming devices and combines remarkable cost-effective engineering, producing extremely low vibration. Thus Rega has redesigned one of the most classic features of the original Planar design. As this new motor assembly has virtually no vibration, it can be directly coupled to the turntable plinth using the latest in adhesive pad technology commonly found in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Being able to directly mount the motor to the plinth provides a highly effective drive train from the motor pulley through the drive belt to the sub platter. This process will directly reduce both wow and particularly flutter that the turntable produces. This will demonstrate itself in sound quality as having more control accuracy and detail.

NOTE: This upgrade kit requires soldering, the ability to read instructions and good hand-eye coordination.  Any stereo repair center should be able to perform this upgrade, as well.
