First case represents the cartridge connected correctly RIGHT channel (cartridge) connected to Red+Green wires i.e. the right channel - Hear music LEFT channel (cart... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @niodari - I agree with @knock1 - it’s the cartridge - because you have observed a signal coming out of both left and right channels - it cannot possibly be the wires Regards - Steve | |

| Power Cable Suggestions Needed @brylandgoodman Take a look at Zavfino cables. Their entry level cables start around $150 The OCC cables will improve the dynamics of your system and improve on the details and bass textures, but they are a little above of your budget, but they... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @niodari - WRT your original question My question was, if they have some instructions to replace their "premium" built-in RCA cable, that I could follow for the replacement.

| Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$ @jerryg123 - my apologies - but the last part of your statement did seem to be - a tad on the skeptical side ? 😉 But I do get where you are coming from - it can seem a little absurd to those that have not experienced a great cable - i.e. until t... | |
| Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$ @jerryg123 RE: .... but sticking a $600.00 PC on a $699.00 DAC is a freaking waste of money. IMHO. So here’s the problem with this particular train of thought... to start with that "$699 DAC" seldom had a "substantial power supply", because... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @niodari I have(or had) a Rega Planar II - I purchased way back in 1981, when I had very little knowledge about turntables.
