The haste is what makes this good potentially although 7 mana is still a lot for White/Red. Feels like a Planar Chaos card a bit but it's cool they are exploring new design space for White/Red.

 It'S extreme stability with almost friction free movement from the high precision bearing assemblies helps. It gather more info from your vinyl for an even wider range of sound. The p3 is available without a cartridge or with the pre mounted Elise cartridge [, Music ] as it sits. The p3 sounds amazing

 A rich, full sound and the bass is incredibly clean and detailed. But as I mentioned, what really makes the plane are three unique from so many others in its class is its ability to be upgraded as you grow in the vinyl hobby. Your tastes and needs may also change as well. Riga designed the three with an upgrade path that will allow the table to grow as technology improves the 24 volt motor used in the p3 and higher models allows for integration with the Neo PSU power supply

 It'S perfect for anyone in the vinyl hobby at any level, if your it's in the p3 major go to our website, hi-def lifestyle, comm, and if you enjoyed this video, please hit like and subscribe, and you too can be enjoying that high-def lifestyle, [, Music, ] [ Applause ], you 

 This most recent version was introduced back in 2016 and has won awards every year since and it's easy to see why the p3 is a belt-driven manual system available in black white or red. The plinth is made from a lightweight particulate core covered with a high gloss, acrylic and then laminated for protection and additional stiffness, like all Riga, turntables. This gives the plants that perfect balance of being lightweight and stable. Riga knows that stability is one of the most important aspects and sound quality, so when they updated to a thicker three millimeter phenolic bottom brace, they also introduced a new metal eyes, skin phenolic top race

Rega Planar 3 Turntable

 For now though, I can't recommend the Marantz PM7000N enough as an all-in-one solution. It sounds great and handles everything I've thrown at it from folk to hip-hop to shoegaze. Currently putting them through their paces with some Guru and Tribe Called Quest.

 The detail is bonkers, and it's nice having a bit more bass 'cause I don't think my neighbor across the hall would appreciate a subwoofer. My next upgrade is replacing the Fluance RT82 with a Rega Planar 3 (unless someone has a better recommendation in the $1000 range) next year around this time, and then I'll probably start looking into cutting the receiver up into separate components a year after that.

Neverending Upgrades...

Marks out of ten, now that’s a bit difficult. I’m not saying it’s unimprovable, but the Audiolab/Denton combo works really well and I’d say it’s a more grown-up system than most. Everyone who’s listened to my Dentons or Lintons comes away impressed; more consistently than any others I’ve had. But we’re talking your ears, your taste

OK, great amp and speakers. Have those myself. Not sure you need the DAC as you’ll discover the Audiolab’s DAC is pretty good, but as everybody but me seems to be convinced that an external DAC is the passport to audiophile pleasure and credibility, we’ll let that pass for the moment.

 But I love the Dentons and next to the Lintons, my main speakers, they stand up really well. Eventually they’ll be the rear speakers for my own version of surround, and the mains for my mono system (which you’ll realise will be at the other end of the room).

I don’t find the Dentons too shrill, but I’m 65 so I guess I don’t hear as much up there as younger ones do.  Nonetheless, I’m going to implement the “proven” solution of replacing one of each speaker’s link strips with a 1-ohm 5 watt resistor to balance the sound a little better.

I have the AT LP120X - I assume yours is the older, non”x” model which is better built but has sound issues with the phono preamp, even when theoretically bypassed. However, I only have it for 78s. It does OK on LPs but compared directly with my aged Thorens TD160 it’s some way short. I also have a Rega Planar 2 for mono LPs (remember the mono system?). That’s a significant upgrade over the AT120, old model or new, but cheaper than the Planar 3 and, critically, less upgradeable. The 3 is a potential money pit as you can upgrade it to the full Planar 6 spec. I find the 2 is pretty good and luckily I caught an ex-demo one at around 25% off. Plenty of other options, though, so worth checking some out. I tend to favour belt-drive, and the Rega being UK-made was a plus for me.

I’d had the Audiolab amp for about a year before I realised it has no tone controls. I just never use them. Hence my interest in the speaker fix above. The resistors are on the slow boat from China, but I’ll report on that as soon as they arrive. The process comes up in one of the Denton reviews. I bought the Dentons on spec during the lockdown and have been well impressed. They improved after about 50-100 hours proper playing, as far as I can estimate, so if yours are still new I’d give them a good running in before you move them on.

I’d say hang on to them until you’re certain you NEED to change them and have auditioned something you like better. Spend some time and money on your vinyl playback and listen to as much as you can on your system and to as many other systems as you can. And give the Audiolab DAC a good workout while you’re at it!

 This is what it used to come packaged with, and that's about a three hundred dollar cartridge and the whole package was twelve hundred and forty five dollars. What reaga has done since they can't get this cartridge right now, is they've packaged it with their six hundred dollar exact, two cartridge, it's a yellow cartridge and they're doing it for the same price at 12.45. So what a bargain is that you're getting a 300 more expensive cartridge and you're getting it at the same price as this cartridge, they can't make any more it's a great table

 It'S a multi-density, fiberboard and, and the other turntables from here from above that one and up they use a foam, a racing foam that was developed in formula one racing cars. So that's one of the things as you move up the line that you get and they get even lighter and lighter. They always include their their phono cables are direct wired and attached to the arms so that there's no connection there for purity of sound and they've. Always at this price point put some really good: phono cables on they're, really low, capacitance they've got really great connectors on them and they sound good

So it saves you the money of having to buy your own set of phono cables. So these come in gloss

 So what a bargain is that [, Music ] start when i want all right: [, Music, ], all right. So this is david and we're here to talk about the regular planer 3, also known as the p3, our most popular turntable at the 2000 and below price point, and my favorite in that that price point as well, we've been selling reggae turntables alan's store has probably For over 20 years - and it's probably sold well over a thousand of them in that time, the planer 3 is the most popular one we sell and it represents, i think, probably the best value in their line and in that price point for any turntable. For that matter, a little history on reagan. They they started in 1973 uh

Rega Planar 3 Turntable Review @HiFi Buys w/ David White

 I mostly dread having to always use multiple controls every time my wife wants to listen to Spotify

 Of all of them.. things like the Nighthawks, TP-Link Archer (not bad), but I actually found the all-in-one modem/router from Comcast to produce the best bandwith and clearest signals for our house. Believe me, we conducted all kinds of tests, etc Who knows?

 things like the Nighthawks, TP-Link Archer (not bad), but I actually found the all-in-one modem/router from Comcast to produce the best bandwith and clearest signals for our house. Believe me, we conducted all kinds of tests, etc Who knows?

So the simple question is, rather than dropping $4,000 for the Nait Uniti Atom, is there a reasonably priced, decent/high-quality CD player that will also handle streaming from the new various sources and push analog thru the outputs??

What could I do to reduce this interference and hum? Would a better power supply help? The Trichord brand ones are way too out of my price range, but I've seen Chinese DIY looking ones on eBay that are similar.

Hi all. My current setup is a Rega Planar 3 with an AT-VM95ML cart, Trichord Dino Mk1 phono (w/ basic power supply, NAD C316BEE V2 and some old Marantz speakers. It's a nice little setup, but I've got a bit of a hum and hiss issue, and I think the phono stage might be the culprit.

When listening through my speakers, the hum is not much of an issue and is only audile when no music is playing and it is very quiet. However, through headphones (Sennheiser HD6XX) it's a different story. They are fairly sensitive headphones, so the hum and hiss is a lot worse. I understand that hiss is inherent in phono stages (I think?), so it's the hum that I think is more the issue

Thrift Shop Reviews

 I knew I liked it But I had no idea how iconic and how incredible a machine it really was to say To say the least I don't think I appreciated it as much as I should have at the time So when it came time to move when it came time to to sell it a I didn't really know what I had So I sold it relatively cheap And be I was never able to get another one I was never able to get another one and so every subsequent turntable that I bought had to live up to this memory that I had of the 1200 and Suffice to say there were always some great turntables in my system turntables that I love to this day But something was always just kind of missing like I missed that ease of use The reliability the just the no fuss factor that the 1200 brought me So obviously when the opportunity came to review the new Technics SL-1500C I jumped on it and I jumped on it because a I was really curious about it But be I wanted to relive that time and place and hopefully recapture that sound that I love dearly That is my history with the 1200 now the 1500C is a decidedly upgraded updated piece of kit and that it it looks like a descendant of the 1200 but it looks like it belongs in a living room or Den or proper two-channel audio file system. That is to say that it lacks things like pitch controls LED lights speed Speed indicators and things like that. No instead you have your choice of silver or black Finish my review unit was the iconic silver and black two-tone finish Which I absolutely love and would strongly recommend that if you're considering this table This is the one you're going to want if for nothing else the resale value alone will likely be higher But you get your start stop your on off button and your speed select you have that iconic S-shape tonearm the DJ style head shell is still there and it comes pre-configured with an Ortofon 2M red Cartridge that same wonderful direct-drive motor is present here in the 1500C and I got to tell you everything that I loved about my 1200 is present and accounted for with the 1500C just a little bit more refined and That is to say that setup was easy There is a lot of this a lot of the 1500C setup is handled at the factory meaning that once you kind of unbox it assemble it follow a few Simple steps that are easy enough to follow for even a beginner even a first timer This is not a turntable. You have to be afraid of Once you follow the few steps to get up and running you can be listening to records via the 1500C in under 20 minutes and that's that that is a very very good thing because one of the things one of the biggest benefits about a direct-drive turntable and the Technics turntable lineage on a whole is just the utility robustness and Convenience of it and the 1500C while looking much more an audiophile piece of kit has that usability Still intact and I absolutely am grateful for it

 Another thing that I think really helps the 1500C be the usability Utilitarian king that it is is the fact that it includes a Very very good built-in phono stage now. Okay, you know if i'm nitpicking here What what don't I like about it or what do I think people are going to have an issue with or take issue with? I think people might take issue with the look I happen to think it's cool But i'm also partial to the look of it because I had a 1200 way back in the day And so seeing the 1500 c in my system brought back a lot of memories But it's just really cool and it's got a vintage flair if you're one that's into hardwoods If you're one that's into esoteric or exotic finishes Well, the 1500 c doesn't have that and it's never going to have that nor is it ever going to have a carbon fiber arm or Anything that doesn't look like a dj table So if that aesthetic isn't your bag then yeah You're going to probably skip right over the 1500 c because it's not going to look Cool or audiophile enough But outside of that, I really can't fault its performance. I can't fault it because For me in personally for me. I really dig the sound of it

 I can't fault it because For me in personally for me. I really dig the sound of it. I like it I can live with that little bit less bass at the absolute extremes and I can live with that little bit rolled off Maybe dry or high frequency at the extremes because I love everything else that it does Between those two points I find to be so Good and fun and infectious and I just love how easy it is to use Approach and just deal with every single day I mean, it's just it's just the easiest turntable to live with and when something is easy to live with easy to use You're more apt To use it and enjoy it And that in my opinion is how you get your money's worth for investing a little bit more in a product like the sl 1500 c So that's it. Those are my thoughts on the technics sl 1500 c let me know what you think in the comments below In the comments below

 You don't necessarily need that in your living room Not that that should stop you if you're considering buying a 1200 because like I said at the beginning of this review The 1200 is what got me into vinyl records in the first place having just moved to California I was about I think 19 18 or 19. I moved from Colorado to California and I happened upon a 1200 deck used Through a friend of a friend at college and I snagged it and that is how I got into Vinyl records kind of as a teenager and as an adult like they were in the house growing up, you know with my grandparents But the 1200 was my first turntable and the only turntable that I owned for a very very long time so to say that I was spoiled and kind of going doing a moonshot right away would be an understatement because Back then I knew the 1200 was good. I knew I liked it But I had no idea how iconic and how incredible a machine it really was to say To say the least I don't think I appreciated it as much as I should have at the time So when it came time to move when it came time to to sell it a I didn't really know what I had So I sold it relatively cheap And be I was never able to get another one I was never able to get another one and so every subsequent turntable that I bought had to live up to this memory that I had of the 1200 and Suffice to say there were always some great turntables in my system turntables that I love to this day But something was always just kind of missing like I missed that ease of use The reliability the just the no fuss factor that the 1200 brought me So obviously when the opportunity came to review the new Technics SL-1500C I jumped on it and I jumped on it because a I was really curious about it But be I wanted to relive that time and place and hopefully recapture that sound that I love dearly That is my history with the 1200 now the 1500C is a decidedly upgraded updated piece of kit and that it it looks like a descendant of the 1200 but it looks like it belongs in a living room or Den or proper two-channel audio file system.

SL-1200 Record Player FOR LESS! TECHNICS SL-1500C Turntable Review

 I was also running the Vista Audio Contour 21. I wanted to see how it improved the performance of the less than stellar OC9XEB. While it really takes a good phono preamp and cartridge to make a turntable work great, this combination really worked out well. I will say this, the bearing in the tonearm is so silky smooth

 It wasn't the cleanest sound but it was good. Perhaps the Denon VL12 Prime was a little better at damping but oh well. So I moved on to the non analytical tap test. The tonearm provided with no microphone at all, thank goodness

 I can't say this enough, the fit and finish of this turntable is 11 out of 10 compared to most turntables that may have a 5. This is probably the best tonearm that I've ever used. The buttons and tactile feedback are so smooth. As with any turntable, the platter is up to speed almost immediately

 Throughout my listening I listened to mostly rock albums, the newly released Ice Nine Kills, to Creed's Greatest Hits. All were flawless or nearly flawless on this turntable. There are a few key reasons to buy a Technics turntable. They look amazing and the touch is great

Technics Sl 1500C - Legendary

The SL-1500C is a huge upgrade over your LP120X. I wouldn’t get hung up on the fact that it comes with a 2M Red. You can easy put a better cartridge on it, and even you VM95E will sound better on that compared to your LP120X because the tonearm is way better and vibrations and feedback will be better controlled. I can agree with the comments suggesting that you upgrade speakers first, but if you have the cash on hand for this turntable now, and aren’t sure when that will happen again, go for it if you can

Hi. I'm currently running an Lp120x with yamaha s301 amp and q acoustics 3020i speakers. I'm looking to upgrade to the new technics. Would appreciate some feedback on whether I would hear a significantly noticeable difference. The technics comes with an ortofon red. Is this better than the Vmn95e Audio technica one. Appreciate the advice. Pete

Technic S1500c

If you want an upgrade, spend a couple hundred on a new cartridge. If you want another upgrade after that step up a couple rungs to a Rega P3 or SL-1500c. The Evo is nice, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just not that much of a step up from the U-turn. Budget to entry level doesn’t make much sense in audio, gotta make a bigger jump or focus on cartridge
