When I play any vinyl it goes 4 very quick beats then nothing then 4 very quick beats and so on... it even speeds up when I play 45's
Good observations, which lead one to suspect an irregularity in the new TT's drive or bearing system."
I have never had an issue like this, but amplifying on Doug's suggestion I would put a piece of painter's tape on the side of the platter and see if the pumping correlates with the tape location.
If that happens, and your Rega does not have this issue, you should call your retailer and have a more detailed discussion. It could be that you have a defective turntable and they should work diligently to help you resolve this issue, regardless of whether it is system based or a defective turntable.
