  SquareTrade © AP6.0 For those of you that want the ultimate performance from your Rega - this is the definitive high performance upgrade kit! We guarantee it will massively improve the sound quality of this popular audiophile record deck! The kit will work perfectly with Rega Planar 2, Planar 3, P2, P3, NAD 533, C555, Goldring GR1, GR2 and Moth Alamo turntables. The comprehensive kit comprises the following items: 1. Deluxe Acrylic Platter - Shown in the second picture. Acrylic sounds far more neutral than glass, which can sound bright and has a tendency to ring. This platter is 20mm thick, with a rebate in the underside to hide the motor pulley, belt and sub-platter. It has the same 'see-through' mid range as our 10mm acrylic platter but with more bass weight and authority. There is more mass around the periphery than in the centre, which aids rotational stability, making the deck sound more pitch stable and dynamic. This is our latest jet black platter which also features a record label recess should you wish to use it without a mat. The platter mounts onto the sub-platter via three points, effectively decoupling it and thus reducing noise. Should you wish to use the platter without the mat, the mounting system allows height adjustment of up to 3mm, negating the need to alter the tonearm height. This is one superb sounding platter! 2. Platter Damping Ring - this 18mm ring tightly hugs the rim of the platter acting as a peripheral wave trap and further damping any resonance in the platter. 3. Silicone Platter Mat - this achieves far more damping than the standard felt mat and is a natural partner to the Deluxe Acrylic Platter, sounding nicely balanced - and as Hi-Fi World magazine said 'More transparent and organic'. 4. Ultra High Quality Ball Bearing - The ball that sits at the bottom of the main bearing housing is replaced with one of our own ultra high quality stainless steel balls. 5. Spindle Support Pad - A small high purity PTFE pad is inserted in the main bearing housing, between the ball and the spindle. This low friction pad eliminates metal to metal contact at the point where most noise is generated, making the bearing drastically quieter and virtually eliminating spindle wear. 6. Ultimate Turntable Bearing Oil - The main bearing is cleaned and degreased before fitting items 4 & 5. The bearing is then lubricated with our superb 'Black Oil'. The best lubricant ever for turntable bearings, this contains Molybedenum Disulfide and Graphite and ensures the bearing runs quieter with less wear. 7. Bearing Damping Ring - our new over-sized BDR fits tightly around the bearing housing and absorbs vibration generated from within. Again, it makes the bearing quieter. This is shown in the third picture, together with the following motor mods. 8. Twin Motor Vibration Absorbers - These are fitted around the casing of the motor and effectively absorb vibration created by the motor, which would otherwise be transmitted to the plinth. 9. Motor Thrust Bearing - This is attached to the base of the motor, allowing the motor spindle to ride on a proper bearing as opposed to the sleeve bearings inside the motor. Adjustable with the allen key supplied, this really does transform the Premotec AC synchronous motor, making it run much quieter and eliminating any 'ticking' noise. 10. Counterweight Resonance Controller - this ring is fitted around the counterweight of the tonearm, effectively absorbing resonances. Two are supplied to suit both RB250 and RB300 arms. Any one of these 10 items will improve your deck - together they will make an absolutely massive improvement. The kit comes with detailed instructions, and we guarantee you will be amazed at the transformation.

UK Postage & Handling £12.00, Europe £16.00, Rest of World £20.00 See our other listings for this same kit but also including the Silent Base at just £230.00 TESTIMONIALS " We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for the upgrade you carried out to our Rega Planar 3 - it has made an enormous difference to the sound system here at GuitaristTV; bass is authoritative, mids are warm and organic, and the top end is silky. The whole soundstage comes through with more immediacy and punch, and it has breathed new life into our guitarist back catalogue, even with the most difficult-to-produce material: Stratton's guitar playing in Iron Maiden's first album sounds more mournful and beautiful than ever, and Steve Vai and Satch seem to jump right out of the speakers. So thanks once again, and we look forward to doing business with you again sometime! " P.C. (GuitaristTV.com) GTV had us fit the Ultimate Kit and a Silent Base to their Planar 3. “ If you're thinking of buying a Rega upgrade kit - do it now. Excellent. “ N.C.

I know... you've heard it all before - but even having read the accolades which told me what to expect, I was totally unprepared for what I heard coming through my speakers. The sound is just terrific! " P.G. ( " Superb product, sound improvements far exceed expectation for the price " T.J. ( " Sound is simply amazing " D.C.

Hi-Fi World Review
' The Ultimate Rega Upgrade Kit provided by SRM/TECH is an exceptionally comprehensive and sensibly thought out series of upgrades which retail at a very reasonable £139.95, and should have just about any turntable junkie worth his LP collection foaming at the mouth! '
' The lack of surface noise from my upgraded Rega came as a pleasant shock! Daring to turn the volume up high on the lead-in to indicate any nasties, I could only discern the faintest hint of hiss, and hardly any rumble at all! At realistic listening levels surface noise was all but inaudible, leaving only the quality of the pressing itself to dictate the resulting sound quality. Speed stability was vastly improved compared to the stock unit. Music had real pace and an almost CD-like clarity to it, but with all the sonic attributes of a first class vinyl set-up. Impressive! ' ' The fact that I am still ploughing through my favourite LP’s as I write this should speak for itself. That addictive urge to rediscover your entire record collection will certainly be re-kindled after installing these goodies – be prepared for some late night listening sessions! ' Verdict **** ' Great value upgrade kits that offer a genuine taste of high-end vinyl replay at a real-world price.' Hi-Fi Choice Review In the October issue, Hi-Fi Choice reviewed our Rega Enhancement Kit - this kit consists of:: Platter Damping Ring, Motor Vibration Absorber and Adjustable Motor Thrust Bearing. This is what they said: Remember LP player tweaking? It was once all the rage, and now it’s back with this neat little kit. Details vary slightly depending on turntable (kits are available for Linn, Rega, Thorens and Dual) but basically you get damping rings to fit the platter and motor and a ‘thrust bearing’ assembly which is glued to the motor’s underside. The idea is to lift the spindle slightly and thus reduce motor noise, which with the standard Philips motor used by most manufacturers was always a problem. Assembly is pretty simple and the results amply justify the cost and trouble: a sample Rega gained an impressive amount of extra detail, easily equivalent to a major cartridge upgrade. Highly Recommended. Thanks for looking at this auction. SRM/TECH design and manufacture a range of Hi-Fi Accessories and Analogue Upgrades.
