My Rega RP6, Exact combo may be going back due to hum.


Greetings again.

About a week ago I wrote on another thread the issue that I was having with my Rega RP6/Exact combo and the hum that it was making and how it got worse as the tonearm approached the spindle. My dealer is willing to take it back and exchange it for something different. He has been very gracious and even came to my house to diagnose the problem; returning the rig is not a problem. He has an Planar 3 with Elys 2 in the store with EXACTLY the same problem. He is also very disappointed at the product since just  recently started carrying the Rega line. I feel like I should purchase another table from him and the other choices are Music Hall, Project and the Marantz TT15 S1. I have heard the Marantz (made by Clearaudio) and it sounds great, although not in my system. He is also an Ortofon, Grado and Goldring dealer in case I want to try a different cartridge.  

Suggestions?? Thanks again.

Sounds like fun but you still do not know if 1.9 or 2.1 mm would sound better, or if 2.4 would be far better .
Only reason belt-drive was pimped as superior was Euro companies
 did not have the capacity to build the great DD spinners than Sony. Pioneer ,Sansui , Denon, etc did .
Did Japanese turn out a lot of cheap junk?, yes they did.
But their top players were the best ever made within the price any serious
music lover could afford .

Pioneer  PLX-1000, read the Stereophile reviews on it. they are spot on.
Built like a tank and VERY easy to set up !
