RB 900 tweaking

Adjust the tracking force to 3 grams, and this disables the tracking force spring. Then adjust the position of the counterweight to set your desired tracking force. Anti-skate should be set by ear anyway, but on a Rega arm there will be a small tendency for it to float toward the outside, even if the anti-skate setting is zero.

A VTA adjusting collar is a nice addition to any Rega arm. So is the Expressimo Heavyweight Counterweight.

I apologize for pitching my HiFi mod, but it works very well to make a big sonic improvement on any Rega arm.

The finger-lift is microphonic. You can put a small piece of heat-shrink tubing on it to help.

David, the Rega, and the OL arms(at least the Silver that I have) have microphonic finger-lifts. I have shrunk about a 1/2" length of heat-shrink tubing onto the finger-lift of my OL Silver.

This is a known tweak for years on the Rega arms.

David, I don't know of any other generalities regarding this. I'd go on a case-by-case basis. I think that the long unsupported thin piece that is usually the shape of a finger-lift is likely to be exciteable by resonance in many cases.
