Expressimo RB 250 mistracking issue
Hi. I had a similar problem with my Expressimo wired RB300. All of a sudden some of my older LP's began skipping. There was a serious binding problem in the horizontal movement. I messed with the magnetic anti-skate and it did nothing. What my iss... 
RB300 binding in horizontal movement
I found the problem. It was in fact the rewiring job. More specifically, a piece of rubber tubing around the signal wires then wrapped by the braided wire. This tube worked it way out of the braiding and was wedged up against the bearing housing a... 
RB300 binding in horizontal movement
Thanks Doug. I've gone through all the "Duh" items. The tonearm wiring is fixed at the exit point so if it's binding anywhere, it'll be inside the tonearm. I've tried to slide the anti-skate adjuster up and down (slowly) several times with no luck... 
Rega P3 220V to 110V
I resolved the vibration issue and now it's running "virtually" vibration free. I ditched the PCB that came from the UK and replaced it with the original single cap/single resistor with a 3.3k and .20u values. Thelonious Monk never sounded so good. 
Rega P3 220V to 110V
Thanks. I found that info as well. What I'm trying to do is use the circuit which came with the motor upgrade. The circuit is suppose to make the motor virtually free of any vibration. The current values of the components drop the voltage below 50... 
Denon 103R or 304?
OK. I've decided on the 304. I'm currently running a Goldring 1042 into a Parasound Zphono, a stereophile Class C recommendation and well worth the $150. The concern I have is that all the reviews out there give the MC input a big thumbs down. So,... 
Denon 103R or 304?
Thanks for the info. I completely forgot about the effects of tonearm mass. I'll definately take your advice and head over to the other forums to hear what others have to offer.
