I think I read that somewhere that the grounding wire is running through the negative RCA wire. But indeed I can try the effect of an extension cable first. Thanks!

Indeed i was talking about a phono preamp, but only if this is the best way to get turntable connected to my receiver. The turntabel sits on top of a wall mounted closet in which the receiver is placed. I don't want to drill a hole in the top of my closet, so the cable needs to go around the...

Sorry, indeed quite important to note but the (fixed) RCA of the Planar is to short to connect to the receiver without extending it. But it seems that extending the RCA will negatively affect the sound quality.

Hi all, I just received my Rega Planar 3 and i'm extremely happy with it. But as the Planar has a fixed RCA cable attached, I somehow need to find a solution to connect it to my Yamaha RX-A880 receiver (which drives my Bowers & Wilkins 683 s2's). Now I started my search here on What Hi-Fi? and...

You're right! Best to try it out first. Thanks!

Well that is some good advice. As i don't think i will swap cartridges often, maybe just an upgrade to the standard cartridge the Planer 2 will come with, so the Planer will be one to pick. I would love to go for the Planer 3, but with almost twice the price of the Planer 2, the 2 would be it...

I do agree with you, but there is no reasonably priced second-hand Planar 3 in my country available (I live in The Netherlands). On the other hand, the Planar 2 has a $50,- cartridge fitted, so i think it's not a big waste of money to upgrade it for a better one. So with that in mind, I think...

As i think the two are so close together, i hoped somebody has compared them. The only thing for me that really matters is the sound quality. I have a amp with phono, so i don't need an build-in one. That makes me also feel like the AT is cheaper overall, because that one indeed will come with...

Thanks for the tip! I will ask my question there.

Hi there, I'm looking for a mid-range priced turntable, and it won't be a surprise if i'm considering the Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB turntable besides the Rega Planar 2. As noted in the review of the Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB, this turntable is placed between the Rega Planar 1 and the Rega...

Hi there, great review but i'm left with a question. I'm looking for a mid-range priced turntable, and it won't be a surprise if i'm considering this turntable besides the Rega Planer 2. As noted in the review, this Audio-Technica is placed between the Rega Planer 1 and the Rega Planer 3. This...
