| 3 questions re: Rega RB 600/RB 1000 If you like Rega arms there are also the developments that Origin Live has done with the basic RB250.Here is a link http://www.tonearm.co.uk/index.htm Some of these arms could well outdo the RB1000. | |
| 3 questions re: Rega RB 600/RB 1000 The slider set at O will not have hurt the arm it should be set to the correct anti-skating force.Usually this about the same as the tracking weight.Maybe the RB1000 might be the better upgrade but I think rewiring your RB600 could be just as good... | |
| Crunch time: Project Exp vs Music Hall mmf-5 Are you talking about the Project Expression or Project Experience here? | |
| Interconnect using tonearm wire. What would you recommend for the shielding? | |
| Rega Fix I should state the problem I had was really an earthing one and not really directly microphonic.I could hear changes in the hum from the stage when I moved the tonearm cable and it was microphonic in addition sometimes,if that makes sense...Anyway... | |
| Rega planar 3 bearing and oil At the risk of being pedantic here is Rega's official recommendation for lubrication.> Cleaning Hub/Bearing> 1. Undo hub nut and remove washer. Remove hub/bearing from turntable. As the brass bearing bush is designed to fit tightly in the pl... | |
| A question about tracking/skating Start at the manufacturer's recommended tracking-force.Contrary to what you might think a too light tracking-force has a better chance of ruining your records than a slightly too heavy one.There is plenty in the archives about this.I use my own ea... | |
| Skewed cantilever The stylus angle will change when it is in the groove as oppposed to when you hold it up,the weight of the cartridge body will apply downforce etc..If it looks correct after careful examination and it sounds good it could be o.k.,butI would use my... | |
| Skewed cantilever If it's only a few degrees to the right it is o.k.Line the cantilever up carefully with the centre line of your protractor.I use a magnifying glass and a strong light also. | |
| Iron Audio or Rega Glass Platter? I have heard the colouration that a glass platter lends to the Rega sound.It is there and manifests as an added harshness or makes the music brittle if you like.I much prefer an acrylic platter as it is very neutral and does not colour the sound e... | |
| Cart, table, arm, stage integration on a budget... I think your best bet for getting more info from vinyl is a cartridge upgrade.Project use an OEM Grado Prestige series as the Project cartridges they sell,so try a Grado Red or higher. | |
| Rega Planar 25 problem There is Rega's recommended fix for a fast table which involves thoroughly cleaning the hub and spindle-hole with the correct cleaning fluid and then placing 2 DROPS ONLY of 80/90w Gear oil in the spindle-hole and replacing the hub.Check with Rega... | |
| Rega Planar 25 problem Rega Belts need replacing every 3 years and even though you do not see slippage the tension in a worn belt is not spot-on and definitely manifests itself as a slow start-up as one of the first signs.If your motor is slow that is bad.Try dusting yo... | |
| Rega Planar 25 problem If your Rega table is still not starting without a nudge,I would replace the belt as my first option,especially if it's been a while since this was done.Sorry to tell you but a lot of Rega's run fast and if you are now on speed it means your belt ... | |
| Rega Planar 25 problem There may have been something on this before ,do a search of the archives.Anyway I think you use a couple of drops of superglue to re-attach the piece.Do not let any glue go into the motor. |
