Is the platter level and on the sub-platter properly? If so then you have a defective table.You should hear no noise either on start up or after.
Start Up Rattle on Rega P3
I have just purchased a Rega P3 and have noticed that when I start it up I get a slight clunking sound while the platter comes up to speed. The clunking dies down slightly but, does not entierely go away and is evident on quite passages. Does this sound normal? And does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks "getting back to LP's"
