kzone Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 SOLD Full set of table, tonearm, Grado gold mm cart and the external TT PSU, asking for $950 The P3-24 produced big, solid images on a soundstage of exuberant size. The tonal balance tended toward the rich, warm side http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/708rega/index.html http://www.gcaudio.com/products/reviews/inforegatables.html The classic P3 turntable has been completely updated. The new P3-24 features a new high performance plinth material and a return to the classic P3 styling. The stem to stern upgrades significantly improves performance in a number of areas. As the “24” designation in the name implies, the P3-24 also features a 24 Volt motor similar to the one in the P5. Thus means you can now use the optional outboard power supply, the TT-PSU for even better performance. · No unnecessary frills · High performance · Outstanding musical sound performance for cost price · Rugged reliability · High quality components · The Plinth The employs phenolic resin laminates for increased rigidity and better control of resonance and vibration. The Motor The P3-24 uses the same very high quality low vibration motor used in the P5 & 9 turntables. The control circuitry has been adjusted for the phase angle of the motor coils resulting in very low vibration. This design change gives a considerable performance increase over the P3 2000. The Platter The platter is hand crafted from floated plate glass 13mm in thickness. This makes for a superb platter material as it has few resonance problems and is extremely flat. The Tonearm The RB300 was a great arm and Rega had quite a task to improve upon it, but that they did. The P301 uses a new vertical bearing housing which improves rigidly and reduces stress in the main 13mm bearings. This assembly is topped off with the improved RB700 bias housing and phono cable. The Optional Power Supply Upgrade The TT PSU, first developed for the P7 turntable, is a high quality outboard power supply that is asimple and significant add-on to the P3-24 turntable (also for use with the P5 and P7). The TT PSU improves musical performance by conditioning the electrical supply with a synthesized low distortion crystal controlled ac input. The TT PSU gives the added convenience of electronic speed change control
