Dave Bryce Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I’m expecting delivery today of the NEO advanced external power supply for my (essentially) Rega 3 turntable today. The Rega 3 requires this if you want to change from 33 to 45 without manually moving the belt to a different position on the flywheel…but that’s not why I got it. I’m more interested in the lowered noise and the improved speed stability, especially during denser passages. I expect to hear it reflected in the dynamics, mostly. Anyone else have any experience with anything like this? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 WOW. Okay, I am way surprised at how much of a difference I hear. There is certainly extended clarity to the top end, and the definition in the bass is pretty noticeable as well. Much less subtle than I expected. DAMN, I feel like such an audio geek. dB 1 ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokenward Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I missed the upgrade to the Rega (I was thinking that you were using a popular Canadian product). The 3 has a pretty elevated reputation for refinement. It's good to know that it can reveal the benefits of a power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the Fluance as well. I really grew to like having a turntable in my studio. The other one I bought was made by a company called Audio Wood, who builds Rega components into nice looking pieces of wood. dB 1 ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokenward Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Whoa. They might have too many products. "The Big Easy", indeed. (I know it's back to 2008 - they have a lot of ideas!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Get this: The Big Easy was in the 2nd recent Star Trek movie! There’s a quick shot of it as the camera cuts across it to Kirk (Chris Pine) in bed with an alien…chick? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokenward Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I was imagining stepping carefully by the turntable in a NOLA shotgun house. A starship is just that much worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
