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.

Picked up the second half of my new speaker set (don't ask) today and I can't even believe the difference. Previously I was using a pair of ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2, which are fine, but these KEF Q750s are just a whole other league

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

 Hey guys, welcome back to Turntable Guy. On the bench today we've got a bit of a sad looking SLD202. This was the replacement for the SLD2. I believe there was a Q202 as well and there may have been a 303, which is full automatic

 Good, not going to touch that grease either, not a whole lot to do on these ones, if they're working, they're usually working well, you don't really see too many issues with these tables. They're workhorses, just like the D2 was, this is very, very heavy, let's see what's going on with these feet here, they're just the cheap style where they press fit through like this, so maybe they're just starting to get a little bit flimsy with age, it looks like the back ones are a little bit taller than the front ones, we won't put the screws back in for now, I'm just going to flip it over and do bearing service on it. I like to use Singer, I'll show you the oil, you can get it all over the place, I just picked this stuff up from eBay, actually this one came from like I think Thailand, that's why there's this writing on here, I think it came from Thailand anyway, so Singer for mechanics, electronics, heavy instruments, sewing machines, bicycles, hand tools, home appliances, joints and hinges, it's great for techniques, I like it because it's lightweight, the Techniques oil is a 10 weight, which is exactly what this stuff is, just put a couple drops right at the top of the bearing here, and that will work its way down, and that's all the lubrication you need on these, same for your SL 1200, any of the 1300, 1400, 1500, all that series, D series, Q series, you just lubricate your direct drive techniques right there at the bottom of the spindle bearing, okay, right there, boom, done, okay, let's see how our speed is now, queuing's nice, drops nice and slow, which is great, power on, and let's see, oh much better already, oh that's great, see, nice and stable now, just a little bit of contact cleaner, 45, so a 45 could use a little bit of an adjustment right, so you can do that on the motor board, we'll probably do that off camera, it's just a matter of going in and hitting those pots right on the motor board, that way when you're switching between 33 and 45, you don't have to constantly play with your pitch adjustment, so it's set, 33's dead on right there, close the dead on, it's nice and stable though, so when you hit 45, you want 45 to be stable too, in this case it's a little fast, so you're going to have to hit the pitch control just a little bit, but that's what those two fine adjustment trim pots are on the motor board, okay, that's great, very simple to service these ones guys, you really don't have a lot to do, if you've got one of these tables, you're lucky, there's so little to do, and as far as the stylus is concerned, we've got here for cartridge Shure, this is one of those Encore cartridges, so this is called an ME95ED, these were made in Mexico at the Shure factory there, this is crooked, so I'm going to readjust that, our alignment on our techniques is 52mm from the tip of the diamond to the gasket on the head shell, and we are at 52, excellent, this might be the original cartridge, let's clean the stylus, I always use a little bit out of alcohol, 70% isopropyl, because I don't know where the stylus has been, so I do like to clean off the garbage that's on there, this one is particularly dirty, it's either dirty or broken, I'm going to have a peek at it with my magnifying glass here, oh it's broken, yeah we got a bum needle, it's bent downwards, so it needs a new stylus, so much for cleaning it, I do want to hear what it sounds like though, make sure we can do an audio test, I'll just use one of my, I keep a spare head shell here with a cartridge that I know is good, and let's just quickly balance this up here, it's a Shure M91ED on our techniques head shell, old style, ok arms balanced, set her back, set your weight to zero, and this cartridge is I believe 1.5 grams, so right there, an anti-scape, 1

what's going on here, it's pretty dirty I gotta say, and somebody's been messing with the ground, this is a joke, let's just clip that ground on, see if we get any hum from my cartridge, no hum, no sound, we'll just check basic operation here, and there's no platter on this right, so there could be some vibration and noise transmitted to the needle, I just don't want to put even one of my crappy platter mats on there, it's too gross, ok, I can't play that for too long, let's see, I do like to check the auto return, because sometimes it does go back a little too soon, let me just try that again, if you rush it, sometimes it won't go, but if you leave it playing on the record, see, I gotta do that off screen because I can't leave it for more than 8 seconds or I'll get a copyright strike, it's supposed to be on an album like this, but it sounds good, runs good, and like I said, there's very little disservice on these things, so if you have a D202, congratulations, you get a great turntable, and it's a good sounding table too, yeah it's good to have one of these, it's just a piece of plastic being put over, it's just good for testing and stuff, so anyway guys, that's a fast one, I haven't had a lot of turntables come in, we had a death in the family, so I haven't been bringing in a lot of tables recently, but going back to servicing a little bit more here, and I hope to get some more interesting turntables, I do get a lot of Technics, that's because Technics sold a ton of turntables back in the day, so you're gonna get a lot of these coming back for service, right, so I hope that doesn't bore you too much, but there are some slight differences between models, and it's always good to document it as far as the service is concerned, so that's the SLD202, thanks for tuning in as always, and I will catch you in the next video, have a great day.

Technics SL-D202: Basic Servicing

5 on here and also too your anti-skate is set to 0. That's giving that cartridge a really nice sound and I did put a nice short cartridge on there. It's an M73 PED. It's got a brand new aftermarket stylus and the needles in great shape so you don't have to worry about that and as you can see at the end of the record it did pick up correctly, return to its cradle and drop and the turntable shuts off

 Also too if you do need to adjust your pitch it's right here. I did clean the pots on that and it is steady at 33 and also at 45 rpms and we're just going to show you that the stop or the reject button is working correctly. If I just press that as you can see the tonearm picks up returns fully to its cradle and drops and the turntable shuts off and this is also a semi-automatic turntable and what that means is it will auto return at the end of the record and just while that's coming to the end of the record I'm just going to go over a couple of the adjustments for the new owner. I do have your counterweight set to 0

 I'm just going to take a quick break, grab a record, and give you a quick demo. All righty and we're back and you have your power button right here. Once you hit that you can see that the strobe illuminates and also too you have your manual queuing lift. Once I hit that as you can see the tonearm picks up

 You could see just a tiny tiny little bit on that edge and this edge is also very nice. Overall in very nice condition and also too your top portion is also very clean and you do have your original 45 Technics adapter right there in the back that you can see. You just have just a little bit of marking right here, looks like from the old dust cover. I'm just going to take a quick break, grab a record and give you a quick demo
