Turntable Upgrade Recommendations

[collectslps]

Hi.

I have a Rega P3 2000 table. Is it worthwhile for me to consider the 24v motor and/or Groovetracer subplatter upgrades? I like the turntable a lot but have to wonder if the money might be better spent moving up to a different one. With the gear I have, wondering what you might suggest. Thanks!

I have never seen a bad report about the Groovetracer sub platter. I have one on my Planar 3.

I have also added a Origin Live motor upgrade. My Incognito rewire kit should be here next week and I will be interested in that change.

Thank you for your input. I just wonder if spending $600 or so in upgrades is worth doing vs going for a used vpi scout.

Unfortunately that is a question I cannot answer for you. I did my upgrades a little bit after getting the Planar 3. I still love the little deck and have not thought about selling it to go to another one as of yet.

What's the rest of your associated equipment ??

Nothing Like "Routine" Maintenance

Moral of the story is I decided to change my P3 2000's oil which was original. Believe it or not, made a huge positive difference in many respects.

Other equipment includes Dynavector 10x5, Genesis Technologies Genre I speakers, double runs of Kimber 4TC. Also have but barely use a Grado RA1 AC and SR225's (with Audioquest Emerald interconnects) only because I prefer speakers over phones.

nothing like an 'oil & filter change' to bring the ole girl back to life ! congrats on the cheap fix.
