Cartridge fresh out of the box
Recheck you alignment and anti-skating. Stylus could be favoring one side of the groove over the otehr. 
Cart Reccomendation for P5 re: roomate idiocy
You may need some shims for the tone armwith the AT since the P5 does not offer VTA. Whatever cartridge you chose you will need to check the height and compare toRega cartridge ht. - I beleive they are 14mm. My Dynavector DV20-XH required 2 2mm sh... 
Hum in an Suminko Project RM-4 Turntable.
I have heard the same but no personal experience. I have also heard that by grounding the motor directly (ground wire from motor to groung) will take care of issue. 
Question for Rotel RC 1082 preamp owners
Ring around the volume knob, volume knob should light up. Can't recall Tone on/off though. Do the selection bulbs light up? Now, if you do need to return within one year they are suppose to give you a new unit accoding to Rotel. 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Is it just me or has Bruce developed the "Bob Dylan" syndrome in the last few years?I remember back in 1975 in a issue of Playboy, the article referred to him as the next Bob Dylan.I, too, thought his vocal range was straining He could not hold th... 
Rotel RB 1070 from Elite Receiver Big Difference?
You do not want to bridge a RB-1070 and try to run a 4 ohm load. The bridge on the RB-1070 can only be run in a 8ohm load AND will produce a bit more distortion. Unbridged, the RB-107 can run a 4 ohm load, but wil get warm/hot to the touch so allo...

Rotel class D amps. Buy or not?
I have two - one powers some B&W N804 and the other powers some Dynaudio Audience 52SE. I use Rotel pres with them - a RC-1090 & a RC-1082. I am very happy with the performance for the dollar. 
Subwoofer & pre amp
Does the JL have an 'out' line level to run back to the amp? 
Rega P5 Benz Micro Glider, Ace, or Stay w/Exact?
I thought you may have a faulty cartridge. First of all, your P5 is more than worthy - a very fine table especially with the optional TTPSU. I had one before upgrading to the P7. I used the Exact on my P5 and was very happy with it. Since Regas ar... 
Just moved and have a smaller audio room 10.5 x 15
For that size of room I would suggest a Dynaudio bookshelf on some Stand4 stands (filled with sand). I am using a pair of Audience 52SE in a 12 x 18 x 8 room and the sonics are truly amazing for the size of speaker. I am also using a Dyn Sub20A (n... 
Not getting enough volume with my new MM cartridge
FYI, when dealers sell a Rega deck with a Rega cartridge you should get a good discount. When I bought my P5 with the Exact I paid $425 for the cartridge, it listed at the time for $550. Mine played fine through my Rotel preamp with an onboard pho... 
Any Totem owners in Houston?
I was in your same shoes a few months back - I think the closest dealer is Galen Carol in San Antonio. I ended up getting Dynaudios instead. Hard to believe the 4th largest city in hte US does not have a Totem dealer.

TT weight for a Rega P-5
Frank_sm - thank you for the correction. I now have a P7; traded up from my P5. For warped LPs I do use a Michell clamp for Regas and have found it does help tremendously. As stated above, stick with the Rega felt mat. If you feel you must make a ...
