Apr 25, 2020 · I am currently considering an upgrade to either the Planar 8 or Planar 10. I have been having trouble deciding after reading everything that is out there. The P10 clearly has the better build, highlighted with the subplatter assembly, tonearm, platter, and power source, but I have also read that it may lack a warmth and liveliness in favor of surgical precision in extracting the maximum ...

Apr 2, 2020 · From my long time experience with REGA deck, I agree with the opinions of regabob & Roy Gandy. If I would add scientific facts; 1.

When rotating platter, by the combination of the vinyl gravity force, friction force between wool mat & vinyl and centrifugal force from rotation, deck ...

Apr 26, 2020 · I have my first Rega Planner 3 back i the mid 80's, the turntable had the now famous RB300 tonearm, it was partnered with a Goldring 1012 cartridge, creek 4040 amp and Linn index speakers, it sounded very nice as i remember, this was before the mantra of lightweight, space age materials.The planner 3 did a very good job inn comparison to what ...

Nov 16, 2021 · Hi All, I recently upgraded my Rega Planar 3 to a new Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 and I use my good old Linn Linto as phono stage. I found out that a tracking force of 1.80 gr provides the best result. I accumulated about 20 hours of listening. The difference between the planar 3 and the planar 8/apheta is obviously massive. Better sound stage, deeper bass, gigantic drums presence and a sweet ...
