Keep the tonearm from the rega. Much better than the one on the project

check the circuitry underneath first or maybe a motor upgrade, but check the ballbearing is at the bottom of the plinth and that it is lubed.

I use a Project Debut Carbon for hi-fi duties and can't fault it.
I think they still do the package with the Ortofon Red cart which is ace and there's plenty of upgrades available if you're feeling fancy.
I was on a budget when I bought mine but managed to get a great deal on an ex-demo one.

I'd upgrade the Rega if it were me (providing that the arm is the straight RB300 and not the curved one).
However first I'd check the oil and the bearing. Did you get the white belt or the standard black belt? I've heard of the white belt wearing quicker.

Howdy all, does anyone know if the rega 24v motor upgrade is worth doing? My planar 3 was running slow so I had it serviced, new belt etc last year but unfortunately its slowing down again so I'm thinking it could be the motor giving up.
I'm wondering whether I should persist with the planar 3 or just cut my losses and get something new. Keep hearing good things about the ProJect Debut Carbon, maybe worth a try...
