I use that cartridge, a Blue Point and a Grado. Thinking of trying something else. |

I think the TTPSU is absolutely great! As mentioned, dead on speed control plus it triggers a special anti-vibration circuit. Finally, it allows you to change speed without messing with the pulley and belt. Very convenient. Best $375 I ever spent.

Question on that Power Supply.
Is the cord long enough to put the supply on another shelf, or someplace other then tight next to the TT? What does the sub platter do - give you a better bearing assembly?

What the Groovetracer subplatter does is replace the stock, plastic part which is slightly out of round with one that is aluminum and machined to a much tighter roundness spec.
This does a couple of things. It gives you less speed variation because now the subplatter driving the table is perfectly round, and you get less wow and flutter. Instruments will sound a lot more natural and the soundstage will be bigger overall. I've done all of the mods repeatedly and the subplatter is the most bang for the buck, followed by the PS which is a close second. The counterweight will give you again a little more spaciousness to the presentation, but had the least effect of all the mods. The platter is a good mod, but it does change the sound of the Rega a bit, giving it a bit more bass extension. Frank at Groovetracer is an excellent guy to deal with and makes an excellent product. |

Have you ever stripped a rega arm down to metal? Would you stay with the glass platter. His sub platter is a top job, really well done. |
