Rega TT Modifications
A lot of guys have Rega TTs here, and there seems to be something of an aftermarket for mods, including the TT PSU for some of the lower models. What modification do you have, was it worth it, and what has it done for your listening experience (include your TT model of course)?
To start with, I don't have any mods on my P3-24 unless you include the 45RPM single spacer  !

I have not played any 45's since about the age of 8. I'm mainly a LP guy.
My LP12 has lots of upgrade options. I've chosen the Lingo power supply for mine. Linn now has a newer power supply for the LP12- The Radikal. This is suppose to replace the Lingo as the reference power supply. I don't any interest in further upgrades for my table right now. I've recently purchased a new EAR 324 phono stage to be followed by a Lyra Argo i MC pickup. I'm very happy!

Dan, I got all my old vinyl, and that of my folks, when I went up to Ohio this past Christmas. Not a big collection, but there were a few 45s in there. I couldn't even tell what they are, and probably best left tucked away wherever I put them, although maybe a BTO song or two would be fun to play just for the heck of it.
On the other hand, those Blue Note 45RPM LP's sound very sweet, and you don't need no stinkin' spacers!

I have the P3-24 with the external power supply. Speeds are always dead on.
Also I have the Groove Tracer sub platter, platter and arm weight, very affordable and made with such care and close tolerances. Silent, tracks like a champ and sounds fantastic. The Rega RB301 is a great arm. Just take a look at the many tables that use some version of it. I have been thinking about stripping the arm and doing a custom veneer on the plinth eventually. http://groovetracer.com/ What has it done for my listening experience? I have not bought a CD or SACD for over a year. Last edited by EasyRiderNYC; 05-19-2009 at 07:50 PM.

Greg, I've thought about their TT PSU power supply, but not sure if that would make as much difference as the groovetracer products.
Your setup really sounds like it's something that needs to be heard to be believed.

Those Groove Tracer mods look very tempting. Would you recommend any of your upgrades before or above any other? Do you have the Elys2 cartridge?
