| Rega R3 I found a pair of the R3's used for a steal so I picked them up. They do have a VERY different sound than I was expecting, compared to the NHT Classic 3's I was using. Not sure yet if it's good or bad. The detail is there, imaging is excellent, an... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I think it all depends on what the manufacure/designer is trying to extract from the grooves (no punn intended)I've listened to a lot of tables, some that cost more than my entire system times 3 and I kept going back to Rega for the "soul" I felt ... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" I agree, I found one on auction for $100.00 from Holland.........yikes that's a pretty penny. Thanks again to all and happy listening. | |
| Mistracking As many of you have pointed out, and I would like to repeat is that out of my 900 plus LP's this is the ONLY one with this issue, and I have to identical copies, that have been played on 2 vastly different systems with different tables, cartridges... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Inna, why so harsh? I understand your point, and I am simply trying to ensure I don't have an issue with my table or equipment. Idle tinkering is all, so relax dude, it is simply a question.Decibell, I spoke to the guys again at Music Direct and f... | |
| Mistracking Sorry, it's Dead Can Dance "Into the Labrynth" track 2 side one. | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Alright guys and gals, I installed a new Rega Exact cart which has the 3 point allignment that locks you into a nearly perfect tracking angle and I still hear the same ever so slight distortion in the left channel only. Again, only on the parts of... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Update, I talked to Chad at Acoustic Sounds and he assured me it was a tracking issue due to the shibata stylus on the 2M Black.......BUMMER! According to Chad that stylus is so picky about tracking that it's nearly impossible to get it perfect on... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" I do have a CD copy and the distortion does not exist there, only on the analog LP. However, with that said, it appears on 3 different systems. I can adjust VTA with the Rega provided shims, but it fixed at 2mm per shim. I tried one, now I have 2 ... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Rodman, Sorry I thought you were asking about the VTA, so my confusion came through. The VTF is 1.5 which is what Ortofon recommends for the 2M Black, but should I try heavier or lighter?? | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" I talked at length to the guys at Needle Doctor and Accoustic Sounds and both agreed it's an allignment issue. I'm only using a one point allignment that came with the Rega, which is minimal. Any thoughts on some inexpensive two point allignment p... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" I have tried 2 different systems with 2 different phono preamps. Not sure that is the problem, but I do appreciate the feedback. | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Well now I have 2 copies of this record and I still have the same isssue in the same spot on both records and have checked this on a third table/system. I also checked with the closest Rega dealer and with my cart (Ortofon 2M Black) I should have ... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" I have no idea. The arm is relatively parallel, with maybe a 2 degree tip forward at the most. | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" But what is odd is that I hear the same distortion on an intirely different system at my dealer with this pressing as well. Could both carts be mistracking?? What are the odds? |
