Upgrading a rega planar 3 to P3 status

Posted by: Gunnar Jansson on 04 May 2002

Hi forum members!
Rega supplies a mod wich transforms an old planar 3 to P3 status.

Experiences??
Have you tried it?
Was it worth it?

Even though it´s just about 1500 euro I´m not interested if it´s just a minor improvement.
(that´s because I´m planning on a better t.t. in the future)

For the first time in quite some years Rega is available in Sweden again.
Comparing a new p25 to a secondhand and serviced lp 12 with ittok what would you choose?
(It´s about the same amount of money here.)

greetings
Gunnar

Hi Gunnar,

Yikes! Does a P3 really cost that much over there in Sweden ?!
That's more than twice the price it'd cost here in Holland.

I'd go for the s/h LP12 (if in mind condition)

Alco!
Sorry, was in a hurry...... The correct amount is 150 euro.
Thanks for your reply. Yes an lp 12 seems to be
the most sensible way to go eventhough you get a new p 25 at the price.

Greetings
