More to the point, is changing the Rega psu to another type going to make any improvement? If so, how, and what would the psu provide to achieve this?

Improved power regulation I suspect, much in the same way it does with a phonostage or anything else James. My TT is direct drive but from reliabel freinds with external supplies advise me a good Power supply makes a difference, hence the reason L*nn etc attracts many after market go faster Power supplies (I am not ithe L*nn camp personally) but sure the emporers clothes would have been blown off if purelt a myth by now!

The basic Regas run off the mains AC supply via a transfomer to reduce voltage to 24 volts. Improved power regulation as Richard wrote and none of the spikes, FRI, and other distortions of the sine wave we are meant to get out of the mains. Worth remembering your cartridge will be fairly close to the motor coils and Rega don't ground the motor casing (worth considering if you're out of warranty).
The TT produces a clean 24 volt sine wave and I think my P3-24 sounds better with it than the supplied wall wart. It also allows electronic switching between 33 and 45rpm instead of taking the platter off and handling the belt.

Maybe I misunderstand your comments Jon but I get the impression that when you mention the benefits of using the 'TT' (presumably the TT-PSU) you do not link this to the incoming 24v AC from a power supply. It is the basic wall-wort feeding 24v AC into the TT-PSU/RP6 that I want to upgrade for the reasons mentioned by Richard (much as the Rega RP10 uses a more sophisticated power supply into the TT-PSU). The GSP PSU1 is an upgrade from the green power supply, I have a Speedbox touch with an upgraded linear power supply and now I want the same for my main turntable, possibly followed by another for the second. I have found an overseas source (& am visiting that country in 6 weeks so could avoid expensive postage) but would prefer something from GSP I note that Graham has offered to check a couple of things & he implies this could then be possible Edited by Drewan77 - 24 Jul 2015 at 3:24pm |

It will be 23 volts AC from the PSU1 transformer secondary. If you want to pop over when John is back (after 5th August) and drop him a line first getting him to wire the output to the transformer secondary, then you can take it and try it. Sorry I cannot oblige personally but I'm the skeleton staff (or soon will be a skeleton at this rate) and a bit hard pressed for the next week and a half.

Apologies Andrew I missed your photo of the Rega 24V 380mA AC/AC adaptor. My TT PSU box is fed with the same unit and I appreciate now what you are asking. I hope the adapted PSU1 helps.
