<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">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). </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I listened the the 'upgrades' with my older original phonostage so as not to blur the perception. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Upgrades carried out at once: </span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•PEEK bearing sleeve </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Silicon Carbide bearing </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Your sub- platter </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Your platter </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•You isolated power supply and motor assembly </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•New ply plinth </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Adjustable spiked feet </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Differences form the original RP3 are very easy to identify, no intensive listening needs: </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Much more air around the instruments </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Decay of musical notes more evident and high frequency extension vastly improved </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•As a result of the above points, instruments are more 'isolated' </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Lower noise floor </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Slight improvement in stage width but my speaker location and room are the biggest hindrance here </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">•Bass is tighter and less bloated </span></b><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I still have to spin many records to hear the tonal differences but thought I'd share my initial findings. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Next in line is an IQ3 cart and pure silver arm rewire. Then back to the new phono stage. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I had a listen to your mat as well. Awesome thing, such an improvement on the Rega felt mat.

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span>Hi Michael </span><br />
<span><br /></span><span>Two weeks ago I received and installed the<b> </b>double pulley together with your silicone belts and your tonearm stabilizer. </span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Removing the original stock pulley was very easy indeed with the pulley puller and following your instructions. </span></span></div><div id="post_message_193296"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div id="post_message_193296"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span><b>The results now in terms of sound improvement are very positive and beyond my expectations.</b> </span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span><b>The soundstage is wider and deeper. More surprisingly the sound character has much more openness and color. Last but least the deck runs now stable at 33.3 and somewhat. </b></span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>The influence of the tonearm stabilizer on the sound is more difficult to estimate, I think. I always had a difficulty to held the stock lightweight hex nut in place, given that it must be fastened finger or hand tight. It always had the tendency to loosen and remove from its sweet spot position. Very annoying. <b>I supposed that your stabilizer would solve that problem, given its substantial weight. And that is just what it does. It’s a real find. </b></span></span></div><div id="post_message_193296"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div id="post_message_193296" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_nO-01sEjgiSS635Mx1LclB2OkdWKxfTJ1csVPDYtDjnm-5E0xRTwLsl1Qvws6kCtMKQfHTo4K60sJnap48mKpL3cmNbd7CyVALfW_aRHdWgljTFHbp9U29RnDMLAKlPAJzE0x92E3hE/s1600/Screenshot+2020-07-14+at+10.55.29+AM.png" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="640" height="74" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_nO-01sEjgiSS635Mx1LclB2OkdWKxfTJ1csVPDYtDjnm-5E0xRTwLsl1Qvws6kCtMKQfHTo4K60sJnap48mKpL3cmNbd7CyVALfW_aRHdWgljTFHbp9U29RnDMLAKlPAJzE0x92E3hE/w197-h74/Screenshot+2020-07-14+at+10.55.29+AM.png" width="197" /></a></div><div id="post_message_193296" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b><br /></b></span>

adjustment is done simply by turning the top dial clockwise (to decrease VTA) or anti-clockwise (to increase the VTA). And when the adjuster is turned from a slot to the next slot, the VTA would change for about 0.1mm. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Michael Limhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10957715954435945742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158173051323501213.post-39011721337124468352021-03-02T16:29:00.004-08:002022-05-17T18:33:29.574-07:00Dan (Ireland)'s upgrades for his New Planar 3<p><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span>Dan has upgraded his New Planar 3 with Aluminium Sub-platter, adjustable feet and stainless steel pulley with matching belt.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">Hi Micheal Lim </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">Thank you for the subplatter and dual pulley upgrading + belt for my RP6 and of course the bearing as well.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">I run it through both my faithful Audiolab 8000A & Marantz PM44SE w or wo schiit Mani + Mission 753 floor standing speakers. I wouldn't be more than happy to conclude that: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">1) Highs are cleaner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">2) Low end better control </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;">3) The most significant I </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 10pt;"> would say the mids. Vocals airy. Instruments more apparent. Strings, horns, drumbeat etc better defined. The center imaging too I believe is much better. </span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Having said this...I discovered my problem wasn't really with the VTA...but it was good I did the mod regardles... </span></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Through a series of many trials, I finally figured out why I thought I was getting "harshness" from my Rega RP-6 turntable. It was not my turntable - it was my ADC (analog to digital recorder). What I discovered is that my KORG MR-2000S recorder introduces harshness into the pure analog signal produced by the turntable...in PCM mode. But when I switch the recorder to DSD digital audio mode, there is zero distortion and zero harshness. Therefore, all this time I thought there was something wrong with my turntable, or cartridge, or wires or VTA...but the problem was in the final step - the digital recorder. Now, I am recording in DSD128 Hi-Res Audio mode and the sound is perfect. PCM is a great digital format and the problem of harshness occurs only on the KORG recorder - not necessarily on other ADCs. </span></span><br />

<br />
<b>John Gallup of California USA has recently upgraded his Rega Turntable with acrylic plinth and bronze bearing hub. Here's his feedback and beautiful pictures of his new TT : </b><br /><div><br /></div><div><table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" class="tborder" id="post193296" style="background-color: #d1d1e1; border: 1px solid rgb(11, 25, 140); color: black; font-family: verdana, "trebuchet ms", helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><tbody><tr><td class="alt1" id="td_post_193296" style="background-color: #f5f5ff;"><div id="post_message_193296"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Michael, </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The plinth, bearing and braces arrived today in good order. I was pleased to find that you had already assembled almost everything, which made the installation a snap, requiring only a few screwdrivers. Everything lined up properly and fit well. I'm already using your motor base, adjustable feet, and motor pulley. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I put on a record I always play after I've modified the system ("Selections from the Gutter," by Art Hodes, Storyville SLP 4057) and was delighted to hear stronger bass and less wow and flutter. I'm not sure why this should be the case but it is very enjoyable. Your plinth is of course heavier than the stock Rega RP-3, and as I understand it Rega's philosophy is to make the plinth as light as possible.
