Welcome to our Rega 24V Motor Upgrade Kit Review, where we examine Rega’s precision-engineered 24V synchronous AC motor assembly and hand-tuned PCB – the perfect upgrade to elevate the performance of your non-24V Rega turntable. Whether you own an RP1, P2, Planar 2 or Planar 3, this kit is designed to reduce noise, eliminate vibration and enhance speed stability.

Why Choose the Rega 24V Motor Upgrade?

Rega has earned multiple awards for its 24V turntable designs, and this upgrade benefits from that decades-long R&D. Key advantages include:

• Low noise, low vibration motor: Synchronous AC motor reduces rumble and acoustic noise floor.
• Hand-tuned PCB: Each board is individually adjusted to minimise micro-vibrations, preserving subtle musical nuances.
• Rigid mount: Improves start-up torque and speed stability, delivering consistent 33⅓ and 45 RPM performance.
• Optional TT-PSU compatibility: For those seeking electronic speed change and an advanced anti-vibration circuit.
• Precision drive belt: Manufactured to tight tolerances for better grip and improved drive efficiency.

Technical Deep Dive

At its heart, the 24V synchronous AC motor assembly delivers a smooth, uniform rotation, crucial for accurate platter motion. The elimination of hum and mechanical noise translates directly into a quieter background, allowing the finest details—breath, decay, hall ambience—to come through with startling clarity.

The individually hand-tuned PCB is a standout feature. Rather than mass-producing generic boards, Rega hand-adjusts each one to ensure minimal oscillator drift and maximum resonance control. Paired with the rigid mounting plate, this setup dramatically improves wow and flutter figures, guaranteeing pitch stability during long listening sessions.

Installation and Compatibility

This kit is tailored exclusively for non-24V Rega turntables including RP1, P1, P2 (and 2000 variants), Planet, Planar 2, Planar 3, P3 2000 and Planar 25. We recommend professional installation by a qualified Rega dealer to ensure the motor is aligned and the drive belt tension is optimised. Prefer to talk through the details?
