Hi everyone just read an interesting article in the sound organisation see us rega distributor website under news on a recent interview with roy gandy on turntable design.

Rega glass platter no mat.

Can also be used as an upgrade platter for the rega rp1 turntable. 295mm diameter x 10mm thick. The 533 sounded much better overall with the glass platter and i would recommend this to you. It says the platter has been replaced with a mdf platter with a 2mm felt wool mat on top and even has a picture of it in the review.

Stock linn lp12 felt mat 30 usd. Its paired with mcintosh c2200 tube pre amp and mcintosh mc202 power amp driving monitor audio silver 8 spe. Prior to my p3 24 i had the nad 533 basically a re badged planar 2. 18mm center hole diameter.

It is now possible to customise the look of your rega turntable using a variety of new coloured mats. I know that i should probably get a cork mat but it kills me to not have the beautiful glass platter showing when i m not using it. I use a rega p25 tt with the stock glass platter and felt mat. It is similar to the rega felt mat which is rather ubiquitous in the hi fi world but just ever so slightly thinner and coarser feeling.

This is a great upgrade for the planar 1 rp1 and p1 turntables while maintaining stock platter thickness. Genuine rega replacement 10mm thick platter for planar 2 turntable. Rega replacement glass platter. Genuine rega replacement platter for p2 rp3 p3 24 and p5 turntables.

The felt slipmat that came with it is super dusty and i m looking at getting a new one. Roy talks about the phenolic platter design and the function of the felt mat. I asked steve daniels of the sound organisation rega s us distributor about this. This is a plain jane felt mat of thin medium thickness 2 mm i d say that comes stock with the linn lp12 turntable.

I recently acquired a rega planar 3 turntable. 12mm with frosted edge. Rega wool turntable mat black. The p3 24 comes with the glass platter as did it s predecessors the p3 and the planar 3.

Have been reading a lot of discussion about glass platter vs acrylic platter in terms of better sound reproduction. Also can be used with rp3 p3 24 and p5 turntables.
