Help please
Aha! That would do it! Of course, there's always reading the directions. Do you have a manual? 
Good Analog EQ
IMHO, the Aeria; 9s were designed for powerful bass, not "thick" bass. As speakers go, they are very flat. Any speaker, especially ones that go as low as the 9s, need to be positioned carefully to avoid the issue your describing. It is never advis...

That is simply your anti-skate at work, which compensates for the natural tendency for the geometry of the arm in combination with cartridge drag to pull the arm towards the center. It is possible that the anti- skate is set too high. How much ant... 
Good Analog EQ
ditto Rives. What about speaker placement and listening position. You can make huge differences with such adjustments. Can you describe you positioning?

Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
Learsfoll,it's really not my intention to nitpick or even to argue per se. Perhaps I misread your original post. I thought you were saying the P7 was twice the price of the P5 with the TTPSU. Also, whereas I agree that the P5 is a significant step... 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
Learsfool,I wasn't arguing the judgement of whether it's worth the extra money or not, just that it's a closer call than you are portraying IMO. It appears from your last post that you still may not understand the pricing. Again, the price of the ... 
Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?
ditto Doug's suggestions, and also some clarification on my above post: when I say to tailor bass and imaging by moving backwards and forwards, I mean moving your listening position, in case that wasn't clear. 
Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?
I wpuld try moving them out to the middle of the room but close to the side walls, toed in quite a bit and move your listening position closer to the rear wall. You can then adjust your bass and imaging by moving backwards and forwards, back for m... 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
Learsfool,FYI, the P7 is only half again as much as a P5 with the TT PSU, which is the comparison to make, since the P7 comes with it's own, better oiptimized, PSU. 
Musicality vs Transparency & Detail
I agree that timbre is critical and I do think you can evaluate it accurately at least to some degree. I believe the difference you're hearing, Stringreen, between the sound of your violin as you play it under your ear and that of the same violin ... 
2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
Sonofjim,you have my sympathies, but I'm not convinced that the challenges of the economics of this situation are best solved by lowering the prices of the upper echelons of this cottage industry. When as many Saskias sell as do BMWs, I'm sure we'... 
2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
Sonofjum,perhaps you should look into designing cutting edge products and making them by hand in very small quantities r a very limited market for a living and see what prices you come up with. I think you may find that your income to work hours r... 
2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
Twer definitely a pleasure putting faces to names, and thanks again to Cello for his kind facilitation. Aside from all the human connections, A'gon member and otherwise, that are always a stimulating and gratifying aspect of the shows, there were ... 
New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice
Crem,just back from RMAF and back in the saddle. Still very busy but exploring ideas for motor mounts. I'll be redoing mine and in the process refine my ideas for yours. I'm also considering a Teres Verus motor/rim drive, available in two heights:...
