Rega P3-24 help required.Right Ch. Distortion


Hi,

I'm was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm currently having issues with my right speaker distorting and showing visibly excessive speaker cone movement.

I have the following system;
Rega p3-24, Elys 2 Cart
Arcam Alpha 7 Integrated Amp
Kef 104 AB

I'm not sure what entirely is the matter as this only seems to happen on the right channel. When playing back via CD, I do not have this issue, the problem starts when the amp is turned up to high volumes. The Woofer and bass reflex both start to shake and then appear to lose control causing the audio to distort.

Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Sounds like yo might be expereincing feedback through your cartridge when the volume is high. Location and isolation are very important with analogue playback. Get TT away from speakers and on a solid surface - a wall mount would be best.
I would second Miner42, since you are getting excessive speaker movement, it must be feedback. Try reversing L & R
cables from the table to be sure.
Thanks I will try your suggestions when I get home tonight. I did try a different TT which was an old Realistic 8010 Turntable which didnt have the same issue with the speaker cone visibly moving excessively and distorting the bass causing the whole room to shake.
