Robert's RP3 has got a New Ply Plinth together with other upgrades. Please read on to find out more:
Thanks Michael Once I get a TT-PSU then a double pulley system will be going onboard too. I added your components to a stiffer ply plinth simultaneously- sound difference is profound. I have just upgraded phono stages in a big way and the difference is on par with that. (New phonostage is 6 X the cost of the original unit I was using). I listened the the 'upgrades' with my older original phonostage so as not to blur the perception. Upgrades carried out at once: •PEEK bearing sleeve •Silicon Carbide bearing •Your sub- platter •Your platter •You isolated power supply and motor assembly •New ply plinth •Adjustable spiked feet Differences form the original RP3 are very easy to identify, no intensive listening needs: •Much more air around the instruments •Decay of musical notes more evident and high frequency extension vastly improved •As a result of the above points, instruments are more 'isolated' •Lower noise floor •Slight improvement in stage width but my speaker location and room are the biggest hindrance here •Bass is tighter and less bloated I still have to spin many records to hear the tonal differences but thought I'd share my initial findings. Next in line is an IQ3 cart and pure silver arm rewire. Then back to the new phono stage. I had a listen to your mat as well. Awesome thing, such an improvement on the Rega felt mat. I however enjoy the 'airiness' of the Ringmat.    Thanks for the great support and service. Regards Robert |
Thanks Robert!
