| Rega RB-300 tonearm with Incognito Rewire ????? I have done the install on an RB250 arm myself and even though it is slightly different from doing the RB300,I can say that you should not be scared of doing the rewire yourself.I was a little daunted at first but it went o.k.The hardest part is d... | |
| Good inexpensive phono pre-amp for Technic 1200s? The NAD PP-2 is an upgraded version of their previous budget preamp.Looks pretty good for the money. | |
| Rega Arm lift? Can I remove the mechanism altogether? | |
| Tonearm Lead Possibly,but I found that earthing can be problematic with particular tonearm,cartridge combinations and I need good shielding on a cable so I am looking at options.I see that microphone cable is well shielded-so can I use it? | |
| Effective Mass Yes it is interesting that when that arm was on the Ariston Q Deck it was shipped with an Ortofon OM10 which is really the wrong cartridge for it.I worked out that a Denon 103 is the perfect match for the arm with it's low compliance.Since both th... | |
| Effective Mass I finally got a response from Sota about the VLMT tonearm.It's effective mass is 20gms | |
| rega new tables p5 p7 Yes Troutki there are 2 fixes that you can try and cost virtually nothing.To make a Rega run at 331/3 rpm if it is typically running 2% fast, you have to widen the sub-platter that the platter sits on.What I do is wrap 2 spliced(not wound)lengths ... | |
| Shibata Stylus If you interested I found a link to the Shibata Stylus type patent through Vinyl Asylum go to www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html which is the search engine page for U.S patents.Do a number search as follows Shibata 3774918,Van Den Hul 4416005,Gyger 48... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade for Music Hall MMF-5 Any of the cartridges that might do well on the Rega Planar 2/3 model turntables.This could be a Sumiko Blue Point Special,Dynavector 10x5,Denon-103 etc.Look at seller 2juki on ebay,his price on an Ortofon X5-MC at $125 is pretty good. | |
| Remove spring from RB300 Why not sell the RB300 and purchase the RB250 which is a much better arm to mod.A simple weight mod that anyone can do and you have an arm that will better both the RB300 and the RB600.There are 2 bearings on the RB250 not just one with a resonati... | |
| Advantage of Rega Motor Upgrade Just scepticism on my part as I am beginning to think I have put a bit of money into this Planar 2(Origin weight mod,Incognito rewire,damping etc)and I can't make a silk purse.... I had previously seen on Vinyl Asylum some posts that this motor up... | |
| Advantage of Rega Motor Upgrade I forgot to mention that I have damped the motor, and I did this by getting 1/2 inch width lengths of "rope" elastic rubber from a rubber store,gluing a length together with a powerful rubber adhesive called "Loctite" making a ring.I then snugly f... | |
| Effective Mass I have sent an e-mail,I thought somebody here might know.This appears to be the same tonearm that was on the Revolver Rebel and the Ariston Q Deck.It was made by Jelco of Japan and they claim they no longer have any records of these oem arms they ... | |
| MMF 7 help I would immediately check the cartridge alignment with a proper cartridge protractor before anything else and check for correct effective length of the cartridge.The fact that the cartridge was already mounted by someone else and clean does not me... | |
| P2 or P3 There are several firms that offer rewires for Regas,I think that the best one is the one piece complete from Eclectic Audio in Germany.Others like the Origin Live from England are two piece,meaning you can just replace the internal wiring of the ... |
