after watching your presentation, I was forced buy the p6. great sound! just a little expensive....but thank you very much!

I look at it as an investment in true high-end reproduction. It's worth it, vs just adding a bunch of more costly upgrades to the p3 or another lesser table.

Thank you Leon! I have been researching turntables for a few weeks and the Planar 3 was on my list. You made the decision for me, I ordered a P3 today!

@@domingodesantaclara1130 Hi Roger. I am very happy with the stylish appearance and the performance of the turntable, it is worth every penny. I went from a 1977 fully automatic turntable to a 1983 semi-automatic to my new Planar 3. I really do miss the semi-automatic feature, so I purchased a Tru-Lifter tonearm lifter to keep me from having to run to the turntable to lift the tonearm, what a great invention. Enjoy your retirement, I am right behind you, I am done working in 2023!

Was just wondering if my $200 bookshelf speakers were bottlenecking my $800 upgraded rp3, but couldn't find anything online. You guys basically answered it for me. Kind of an obvious answer, but still good to know.

I have the Planar 3 (1916) with Exact and tt - PSU. I think the difference about 6 is in the Metal platter and siliconic belt. In Italy you buy a Planar 3 with 730 euro; Forr this 6 Planar you must pay muh more. PLEASE, I HAVE A QUESTION : The Planar 3 is compatible with metal platter ( I think the name is a Groovetracer) and Siliconic Belt ? Sorry for my english language but i'm italian.

Why have many companies gotten away from using a "head shell" on the tone arm, it must certainly make installing a cartridge much more difficult.

It is harder, but it eliminates an opportunity for sound issues, something rattling, wires being crossed, etc. Some brands like Audio-Technica still have it.

You can benchmark your 3k system to my 40k system, the outcome will simply be that we are both happy with what we have. But to be completely honest, I have listened to 500k systems and have no problem admitting its much better. I just cant afford it, and even if I could, I wouldn't be interested in spending the money. saying that the difference is minimal is just not true. I wish it was.

Beautiful turntables. The irony is that my XTZ CD-player costing $200 (used price) outperforms both Planar 3 (which I own) and Planar 6 in almost every department. A Marantz SA-KI Pearl Lite costing $400 (used price) is in a completely different sonic universe. With the platter rotating at the speed 1% faster than 33.3 rpm Planar 3 is tonally inaccurate. Not only is it faster than it should be. The speed of the platter varies significantly which means all long notes will become wobbly. Planar 6 is a little bit better in this department but far from the tonal accuracy of the much cheaper CD-players. Elys and Exact produce som much humming noise it is ridiculous. That amount of hum degrades the sound quality significantly. So, what do you get for $945 and $1595 respectively? Almost the same tactile experience as you'd get from a cheap $100 turntable. You'll of course get much better sound quality than with the $100 turntable but far inferior to a $400 CD-player. Going from Planar 3 to Planar 6 won't actually give you any sonic improvement worth anywhere near $650. You still have the exactly same tonearm. But of course, there is more to listening to vinyl than sound quality. I own a Rega Planar 3. Most of the time I don't know why. Sometimes I do.

You need to be into hifi to understand so i would stick to your second hand 200 bucks cd player & not get out of your depth. It all depends whether your a vinyl fan. Yes my cd6007usb marantz ( more than 200 bucks) probably sounds better than my rega planar 3 in perfection but to be honest your either a vinyl fan which involves more than purchasing a piece of digital music in a cheap plastic case & throwing it in an invisible draw in your cd playing box. It's the covers of your albums the ownership of real music made in a classic way, to putting of the needle gently down on a beautiful engineered piece of machinery that is nostalgic & has history. Old albums are now selling for tens of thousands that aint gonna happen with a cd ever. If your wanting to just throw it in a cd or listen to streamed music then you are not into hifi. Some people are audiophile hi fi fans because they love anything hifi & not just digitally enhanced convenient music. 945 0r 1595 turntable the same price as a 100 dollar turntable you say. Now I know your a bit of a simpleton. Go play with your 90 dollar cheapo cd player & 10 buck headphones boy.
