Goldring 1042 on a Rega P3 - Cueing Problem - Help
Viridian, if you place a spacer under the arm everything gets raised including the cueing mechanism. It will clear the record I'm positive. I see your point with the quality control at Rega. I'm just worried that if it was set correctly at Rega, a...

Does anyone know the height measurment of the Rega Cartridges?-Dave 
Dynamic Tracking V.S Static Balancing
For those of you who are for "static balancing" on the RB300 how do you feel on the subject of removing the spring completly versus just setting the dial to 3 grams?-Dave 
Goldring 1012GX stylus question
The stylus' are definately interchangeable. You can upgrade to the 1022 or 1042 if you wish. I had the 1022 and the 1042 and I really like the 1042. I find it it my opinion far superior to the 1022. Although when changing just the stylus the cost ...

Using a Mono track is a good idea. Even use a test cd that does right, left and center checks. Also, make sure your sitting chair is not angled (toed into one speaker).Just incase its not in your head.-DaveP.S - when you figure it out please let u...

Cueing it up...
I've had my platter roll backwards quite a bit, no damage. The Stylus and Cantilever can handle some moderate misuse. We all can get carried away at times. Cartridge assemblys are delicate, but not as delicate as we make them out to be. Remember d... 
RB300 Mod -OR- RB250 Mod, Which you feel is better
Basement, when you say the Rega P3 is attached on one side by the spring, what exactly do you mean? Does this mean that since I removed the spring my arm is attached only by one side?-Daveg 
Flipping the LP over ...
I have a felt mat and I must say that I leave it on throughout the entire listening period.-Dave 
turntable spins at 45 but not 33 - any clues?
If I am correct the table has a switch that selects the two different speeds. When you switch it to 33, there is a divice that lifts the belt. Try to see if that little hook that lifts the belt is functioning. I had the same problem once on what I... 
What is the expected life-span of a Rega cartridge
Stuff like this really gets me going. I suggest demanding your money back or at least some back for the cartridge. I would return the table and find one here on Audiogon.-Dave 
Speaker Polish?
The problem has been fixed. I used this stuff called "Panel Magic". I sprayed a little on a cloth, then wiped the area where the scratch was and its gone. I tried looking for the scratch with a loop and still cannot see it. I tried wiping the area...
