Thinking about buying an Lp12, Lingo table.
Thanks to all for the responses. I am also considering a VPI Scout (the latest model) which are supposed to be wonderful. A couple of dealers in the area sell and I am planning on listening to them.  
My Rega RP6, Exact combo may be going back due to hum.
Hi gshephardbuster. I am considering doing the incognito upgrade. What kind of cartridge do you have on the rp6?

Thanks Les creative edge. I agree with your post. Right now I am test driving a Marantz TT 15 which is pretty much a Clearaudio Table with a virtuoso wood and a tonearm. My dealer, which has been BEYOND gracious just got it a few days ago and the ...

We are still on the fence. Played quite a few records last nught and the table sounds great. However I am dissapointed by the hum and I am so ocd that knowing that it's there drives me crazy.

Greetings again. After trying everything discussed lately there is a chance that I will return the table and exchange it for something else. My dealer has been very gracious through the whole process and will take the table back if needed. He even...

Thanks Bruce. Interesting info regarding the shielding around the motor. lwall22. Interesting comment in regards to the tiny ground wire around the tonearm. I may do the Incognito upgrade which uses a dedicated ground wire. H Rega; your tables sou...

Thanks Les, Steve and Toddverrone. I appreciate everyone's input however the solution to put aluminum foil on a brand new turntable and cartridge at almost $2000 should not be an option. I have seen the video where the guy connects a cable to the ...

I am not sure about the issue with the Exact having 7 mv. My old Signet had an output of 5.5 MV and never had that issue. I actually tried it at a higher gain and it just got louder with ZERO hum therefore I don't know if an extra 1.5 MV would cau...

Thanks Sfall. I understand where you are comig from, however I would not blame my dealer (at least not yet). He was very gracious to let me keep the table for about 10 days about month ago and I think that it was just a matter of a scenario in whi...

Thanks Theo. Could you be a little more specific using an alligator clip?? I just unplugged the right channel and nothing changed. I talked with the folks who do the incognito wiring upgrade and they said that it not a cure for the ground issue. I...

I hear you johnk. I think that I have buyer's remorse. I totally agree with that the sub platter is not all that great but once you put the platter on top it has lots of inertia. I think the tonearm is very good. I was talking to my wife and wishe...

Thanks lenmc2964. I will try that and will play with it this afternoon. I absolutely love the sound of the table but as I mentioned before when I buy something it is supposed to work, period. I encourage you to do some research before you decide t...

Thansk for all the responses. The Rp6 like all Rega turntables does not have a ground cable and after doing some research i have read that this is a common problem with these tables. Sfall mentions to lower the gain which It is already done. I had...
