Guys, to those of you who owns a Rega P3-24 amd does not have a Lenco yet, don't fret, The Rega is highly tweakable and is fun to upgrade and imho can give the "mightly Lenco" some competition. . . Wanna share the tweaks I've done with my Rega
First, use Bitumen(Dynamat or Flashband) to dampen your plinth. . . I placed the bitumen accdg to the recommendation in Vinyl Engine. . .
Then I ordered an aluminum subplatter from Michael Lim of Malaysia
http://lpturntables.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.htmlThen ordered a double pulley, pulley puller and dual silicone belt (still from Michael Lim)
Decided to remove the old pulley and replace it with the double pulley. . .
Removed the motor cover and gently disassembled the motor from the plinth(which is connected only by a double-sided tape) using screw driver
Positioned the pulley puller and removed the old pulley
Installed the new pulley and removed the old double adhesive and replaced it with a 3m, reattach it back to the plinth and placed Flashband on the motor cavity to further dampen it. . .
Attached the dual silicon belts to the dual pulley. . .
"The kamagong pucks I bought from Raon, 100php for the whole "pool set"
Attached it to the periphery of the glass platter to increase the "flywheel effect"
I wish you could hear my upgraded Rega p3-24 soon. . .Goodnight guys
