Rega P3-24 Power Supply

[admin_exported]

Hello

I recently bought a Rega-P3-24 turntable with the Elys 2 cartridge. The dealer told me about the optional upgrade for about £120 of an external power supply unit. Could anyone tell me if this is a recomended upgrade that wil improve sound or is it ( like the £100 mains cable I was considering buying ) a continually raging debate!

Thanks

Leo

Setup :

Rotel RA-05

Marantz CD6002

B&W 685's with QED Silver Anniversary cable

Hi

This is no snake oil - the Rega PSU makes a significant improvement to the P3-24 (and an even bigger one with the P5 !)

This will give you a superb sound. If you want to go even further add a Dynavector 10x5 cart followed by P75 phono stage ! (although you will have outclassed your amp and speakers by now...) .

To my mind, power supply's the most important thing for a turntable. Haven't bought the external one for my Pro-Ject yet but I surely will. Like cables, most dealers worth their salt will lend you one, and if you can't bear to give it back then it's worth it!
