Groovetracer Delrin Platter Upgrade for Rega Turntables

PREOWNED

Incredible-Sounding Upgrade for Rega Turntables Requires
No Adjustments: Hand-Made, Precision-Machined GrooveTracer Delrin Platter
Enhances Definition, Balances, Details, Imaging, and More
Hear improved balances, better-defined upper frequencies,
extra inner detail, dramatically enhanced imaging, and more from your Rega
turntable with the GrooveTracer Delrin Platter. Designed
for a wide range of Rega rigs, this analog accessory is
hand-made in a U.S. machine shop abiding by military tolerances, engineered
with exacting detail, and hand-inspected before being shipped to your door.
Every element of the 5-pound, 3-ounce Delrin Platter is
manufactured to the highest-possible quality and will take your ‘table to the next
level – both sonically and visually. It’s also simple to install: This platter
doesn’t require any adjustment in tonearm height (VTA) or any further changes
to your ‘table.
Because it shares many of the same properties of vinyl
records, Delrin is the material of choice for record platters.
It also carries more mass than the majority of high-performance thermoplastics
available, a facet crucial to maintaining speed stability. The challenge in
using Delrin not only relates to its expense but the personal
focus it requires during the manufacturing process. GrooveTracer‘s
manufacturing process begins with an oversized blank machined to its final size
by several machining operations. In order to maintain the combined thickness of
the glass platter and felt mat, the underside of the platter is recessed to
match Rega‘s distance from the top of the plinth to the top of the
playing surface. In other words, no adjustment in tonearm height (VTA) is
required to use the GrooveTracer platter. Finally, GrooveTracer machined
a label recess so that the record will lay flush with the playing surface. (No
mat should be used with this platter.)
Platter Compatibility
GrooveTracer Delrin Platters are compatible with Rega Planar
3 (2016 model),Planar 2, 3, and 25, RP1, RP3, RP6, RP40, P1, P2, P3, P25,
P3-24, and P5 turntables. GrooveTracer Delrin Platters are also compatible with
RP6 turntables, but require changing the Subplatter to complete the
modification.
GrooveTracer Delrin Platter Features Summary
The Delrin platter carries more mass than the
original Rega glass platter (83 ounces compared to 70 ounces), increasing its
ability to maintain constant rotational speed. The extra mass will not damage
the bearing. The outside diameter of the platter is recessed and 5/8-inches
(15mm) larger than the original platter to provide additional mass. This is a
unique to GrooveTracer. All surfaces are machined to precise tolerances. No VTA
adjustment is required. Simply install the platter and play records.
