I have a Pro-ject debut (first model) and thinking about upgrading to Rega RP3. Would I notice much difference/improvement?
It will be a big improvement, and it is the right thing to be upgrading too. I'm sure your Rega dealer will happily demo the RP3 against your Pro-Ject, and offer you something in part-exchange, unless you are happy to pass it on or sell it yourself. Don't be tempted to use your current cartridge, as that is best left in the Pro-ject.swoosta said:I have a Pro-ject debut (first model) and thinking about upgrading to Rega RP3.

Dave. How does the rega rp3 compare to say a michell gyro at twice the price ,pound for pound.?FrankHarveyHiFi said:The RP3 is an excellent deck, and capable of accommodating a better quality cartridge than the Debut too, so there's more scope for getting more out of the RP3 than the old Debut. The quality of a deck is all down to close tolerance engineering, particularly the arm, and this is an area that Rega have excelled in over the decades.

Yes. A very worthwhile move.swoosta said:I have a Pro-ject debut (first model) and thinking about upgrading to Rega RP3. Would I notice much difference/improvement?
Cover not needed - doesn't make it sound any betterchebby said:So a deck costing £1200 upwards (+ cartridge + cover) is better than one costing £549 with cartridge fitted ?
Amazing.
