Turntable mats
I have exactly the same Rega P3 with glass platter and Funk Achromat does nothing but makes everything sound bassy. Gone extreme highs and all I got in return is slightly more bass.Thank you I'll keep my felt mat. 
Side to side cartridge vibration with loud pops.
No Sir!I tried to search for discussions about 'Grado jiggle" but found none related to my problem.The cart I am using is farely old and it might be part of the problem.In any case, in the interests of audio research I bought brand new Sonata and ... 
New Re-Issue Vinyl: Surface Noise, Ticks, Pops....
I bought Thriller anniversary reissue double LP that was 180g and warped so badly my cart would not track.I send it back and they send me less-warped record:)Modern reissues are often garbage in quality. That is why i sore not to pay more than $15... 
Side to side cartridge vibration with loud pops.
You might me right about resonance and aging of the cart. The only strange thing is: it is happening only on that box of LPs and not on any others.It does not happen with Denon DL-160, which is brand new...Although I cannot keep listening to Denon...

I am juts speculating but the reason sound changes when you leave Rega Wheel at zero is because that spring inhibits the arm up and down movement when wound tight. Thus, my guess is when it is at zero and arm is relatively free to bounce up and do...

Is your table relatively leveled? Have you checked it with carpenter's level? That might contribute to the change in a sound, just a guess.I try it on my Rega as well tonight(seting the skate lower).As far as all talk about Rega wheel being inaccu...

If I were you i would set up tracking force using Rega wheel and then check the accuracy with a stylus pressure gauge. I am really curious how accurate is Rega's tracking force adjustment.Would you do it for the benefit of educating me and keeping...

I am looking into diferent weights for Rega P3.I wonder how much more heavier the Groovertracer(130g) weight than a stock one?130g seems like a lot of extra weight pushing down on the tonearm's bearings, isn't it?Also I cannot find the answer to m... 
Arm upgrades for Goldring GR 1.2 worth it?
I am looking into Groovetracer as well (Rega P300).I wonder how much more heavier the Groovertracer weight than a stock one?130g seems like a lot of extra weight pushing down on the tonearm's bearings, isn't it?Also I cannot find the answer to my ...

I read numerous accounts about weights being pretty much useless on RB300 or RB600 arms.I also read the accolades to various after market weights for RB250, which came with cheap weight from Rega. 
Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound?
Looked into monster of an Amp Denon PMA 2000, but read only bad reviews form audiophiles and good feedback form Heavy metal guys. Decided to stay away from Denon.Considered Onkyo A9555, but the price of 440 retail made me skeptical. Reviews form a... 
Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound?
Thank you for your answers. You do not think conditioned power supply form the Amp's transformer would benefit the sound?Not trying to argue. I am just new to the whole Audio analog hobby.Aside from simple convenience is there significant benefit ... 
Arm lift options beside Stylift
Well, here are my TonaL pics: 
Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound?
I looked at a few (20) AMPs and I stil have questions:1. Should I care about power outlets integrated in a back panel of the Amp? I like the idea of cleaner current.2. Should I stay with speaker cable clipping or should I switch to banana clips or... 
Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...
Here is a thought about record mats and clamps. Only use clamp or solid material mat (vinyl, acrylic, kryptonite) if your table is reference range quiet . I mean your bearing and motor and spindle and belt etc., etc. are all silent.Coupling record...
