Hi
In our kitchen system we have an RP1 and I’d like to get something better as it’s getting more and more use as our family music place. The RP1 is white and it looks very good where it is (there’s a mix of white units and light woods nearby, the speakers - Dynaudios - are white too.) Given it’s a family area, it has to blend in well!
Looking up the Rega hierarchy, I can get the new P3 in white and the older RP6 in white (secondhand of course, and they are not common). The current P6 is grey-ish as far as I can tell.
Is the current P3 with a Neo added comparable to an older RP6 (which mostly had the older TT-PSU supplied)? And, for the newer models, what’s the performance gap between a P6 and a P3 with the Neo? It would seem the arm and motors/PSU are the same, leaving the differences as plinth, bearing and the platter setup.
It’s not that easy for me to dem these, so advice welcome.
