Two months ago I upgraded from a Rega RP10 to my new Rega Planar 10. The cartridge is the Apheta 3. The improvements were bigger than I expected. The phono stage is my vacuum tube Luxman EQ-500.

The Butcher Block Acoustics platform made a noticeable improvement in soundstage width and depth and image clarity. I bought it last year for my Rega RP10 so my comments are in regards to that turntable not my new Planar 10. I bought it on Amazon brand new at a insanely low price of about $60 including shipping. It was shipped directly from BB Acoustic. The packaging was insane, you would have thought there was a $30,000 turntable inside. I think it was triple boxed. 😂 I can’t believe the quality and price of this platform. I have no idea what it cost now or if it’s still available on Amazon. I did see it advertised on the Cable Company website for a much higher cost.

I just checked and price and it’s still very reasonable. Amazon has a 3 inch thick (mine is 1-3/4 inch) x 17 x 14 inch platform for $102.

I got mine from an old job but I've seen them at Winners (part of the TJMaXX group) for really cheap too, you can sometimes get them on craigslist from hipsters :)

Nice (That cartridge is so sweet I run it on my Well-Tempered Amadeus) :thumbsup: , I have a buddy who has basically turned his 40th Anniversary RP3 into a RP6 by adding the better belt, Groove Tracer Platter/Sub Platter. So how many shims did you need to raise the RB arm up for the 740?
