| Rega P3 - Arm hole too small? As long as you can tighten the base-nut and the arm is the correct distance for the most part it should be o.k.Now what could also be done is to make support that would cover the hole area so you are tightening the base-nut flush and firmly to the... | |
| Rega P3 - Arm hole too small? The arm distance pivot to spindle should be 222mm for a Rega P3.That is from the exact center of the tonearm's pivot to the exact center of the turntable spindle.Now I think you have not altered your tonearm's position from what you have said so y... | |
| Slow Rega P25 I would say that even though your belt is not slipping,those are the symptoms of a worn stretched belt.Not starting immediately is one of the first signs. | |
| Is my cartridge the problem? Here is a link to fine-tuning your table if you want some excellent tips.http://www.walkeraudio.com/fine_tuning_your_turntable.htm a Denon DL-103 cartridge might be worth looking into.I think the NAD PP-2 has a moving coil capability. | |
| sota moonbeam owners..... The arm was made by Jelco of Japan and is the same arm that went on Ariston's Q Deck.It is a relatively light arm well suited to Grado cartridges.There are better arms around,the flexible back plastic tail-piece being it's major fault. | |
| rb300 interconnect Desoldering it after you undo the tiny hex screw at the side.Be careful you don't pull it too hard and have something to replace it with. | |
| Best Rock Cartridge for Rega $600 Forgot to mention the Audio-Technica OC9.Here is a link to the Cartridge Database which should be useful.http://www.cartridgedb.com/ | |
| Best Rock Cartridge for Rega $600 There are of course the Sumiko Blue Point or Sumiko Blue Point Special No.2 which are H.O 2.5mv I think.There is also the Denon 103 at 0.37mv according to the data sheet so that would be an excellent choice for classic rock.The Ortofon X5-MC is al... | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? It cleans up the low-end quite noticeably and enhances detail.The vibrapods help the Rega feet drain away vibration as they are supposed to and the rigidity and decoupling effect of the shelf aids this also. | |
| Music Hall MMF-5 SE The Rega P3 has an upgrade path re after market mods that you can follow and learn about turntables at the same time.You can do great things to the arm,upgrade the power supply,the platter etc.The table is pretty good stock too and is probably bet... | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? The Rega philosophy is a light and rigid shelf or platform.Following this I had square piece of acrylic cut to size.Under the turntable you could have vibrapods under each foot.With a Rega P25 you have a 5 vibrapod at the back,a 2 at the next heav... | |
| tracking distortion on a p5 + rega cartridge? Good to hear! | |
| Cartridge for Rega/Lehmann I assume you are using a Rega arm which has an effectve mass of 11gms.If so the Lyra Dorian sounds like a good match with a boron cantilever and relatively low compliance.The Shelter is about the same price so you might want to get opinions on tha... | |
| wow and flutter I must admit to making a somewhat general statement here and I am sure you can address this issue with a heavier weighted platter.It does not become a non-issue though, even with high-end turntables and I crave your indulgence as that is one of th... | |
| Audio signs of record wear. That statement you made at the end of your post about vinyl deterioration is not correct.I am reminded of an article in Stereophile by it's editor John Atkinson.He found that the high-frequency info was still present on a worn old record he had ma... |
