now the rega rp3 has superceeded the planar3 - can you still buy the planar3 new?
if so, does it now have a discounted price? 😛ray:

RP3 is probably going to be my next purchase. Always wanted a Rega turntable and I think I'd rather save up and get a nice new one than a used P3. The new model seems very good value to me.
thanks rick - i appreciate your time on that one
and mathew - i too am looking at getting a rp3 - its just the thoughts of a bargain suddenly cropped up in my head 🙂

Hi dynamo127
Your welcome.
If your budget allows then go for the new RP3 as it is much better then the already impressive P3-24 🙂 Fwiw, the RP3 is even more impressive then the Rega Brio R and their DAC at the same price
All the best
Rick @ Musicraft
thanks again rick
i'm going to be matching the rp3 with the brio r - my account is going to take a hiding!!!
what speakers would you recommend with this set up? budget to £500 at a stretch.

Hi dynamo127
Your welcome.
Nice one
What do you and anyone else who is also likely to use the system generally listen to?
The size of your room?
Is the room lightly or heavily furnished?
Room positioning of the new speakers (distance to walls, corners, will there be anything between the speakers such as a chimney breast, cabinet, windows etc.)?
Distance between the speakers?
Listening distance?
Your general listening level?
Fwiw, in the meantime Monitor Audio's Silver RX1's are worth bearing in mind.
All the best
Rick @ Musicraft
What do you and anyone else who is also likely to use the system generally listen to? wide range from loud, punchy guitar to ambient
The size of your room? 4m x 5m
Is the room lightly or heavily furnished? carpetted but not heavily furnished
Room positioning of the new speakers (distance to walls, corners, will there be anything between the speakers such as a chimney breast, cabinet, windows etc.)? sides of speakers close to walls (can't do anything else!)
Distance between the speakers? approx 3m
Listening distance? approx 3m (yep I got the triangle!)
Your general listening level? Im in a flat, so I try to get a decent volume without disrespecting the neighbours (so not banging loud)
i'm looking for ideas for speakers to demo... once again, thanks for your time rick 🙂

Hi dynamo127
Thanks for your reply and your welcome.
I'll recommend that you considers speakers such as the Rega RS1's, Monitor Audio Silver RX1's and Dynaudio's DM 2/6's.
Btw, will you also be needing speaker cables?
All the best
Rick @ Musicraft
interesting rick as it was the dynaudios 2/6 i wanted to hear
what cable do you recommend for this sort of system? - i thought QED silver anninversary or Chord carnival silver
i'm also now pondering a demo of the leema pulse (half price) - i'm sure it is a fantastic amp but as a vinyl only listener - is the phono stage as good as the regas?

Hi dynamo127
DM 2/6's are excellent speakers and also work well with the Brio R 🙂
Speaker cables which i'll highly recommend are standard 79 - 500 OFC. These cables cost very little and will be more than good enough for the the Brio R and DM 2/6's, Silver RX1's etc.
Btw, i'vre not heard the Phono stage of the Pulse amplifier however the phono stage in the Brio R compliments the RP3 very nicely indeed
All the best

cheers rick, plastic penguin (on other thread) and others who contributed
it's been really interesting to gauge your opinions on different elements of hifi systems. i am going to make a purchase this week (after further demos) and will let you know the results

I noticed this Rega P3-24 (with fitted Elys 2 cartridge) for £325 instead of it's old price of £510...

... about four items up from the bottom of the listing.

I certainly wouldn't dismiss a p3 24 if money is tight. I picked up a p3 24 in a lovely colour with a ttpsu plus a new Goldring 2500 mm cart for a few quid more than a bare RP3. Deals are there if you shop around on the bay and in private classifieds. Cheers.
