In Reply to: Iron Audio Acrylic Platter & Rega P3 (Upgrade) posted by Buonarroti on September 11, 2006 at 13:14:11:
The acrylic platter will work well by itself. I also recommend the deep groove subplatter with it. IMHO it made an even more significant improvement in the sound of this turntable.DEEP GROOVE - REGA REPLACEMENT SUBPLATTER KIT FOR P2 - 3 - 25

Groovetracer makes a better machined subplatter so I am told by someone who was using the DeepGroove.I am using the DeepGroove but the QA is wanting. I got a good one but maybe I was lucky.

Even though my Planar 3 is the 'backup' system, I'm still lusting after / saving for the Groovetracer subplatter / platter system, especially since I use my 'backup' system for burning LPs to CD.Of course, this raises the interesting question - at what point of upgrades does your Rega no longer become a Rega but is now a custom / home-built turntable? If you replace the plinth (for example, with granite as one enterprising Brit has done), subplatter, motor (with an Origin Live, for example) and platter, is it just a non-suspended one-off with a Rega tonearm?

the subplatter "imparts a sense of ease". you can quote me on that. :-) Really, the better machined subplatter and ruby bearing make for smooter movement and you can hear that. There is a loss of tenseness which you might not have noticed before but you will notice it's absence.space opens up, "more air". it's a subtle but powerful difference, at it was for me.

I think replacing the plinth would absolutely move it out of Regaville.
No longer light and rigid if using granite.
