Tracking error or ??
If the black is anything like the LTD it lacks a bit of fine adjustment for VTA and VTF but you might find it harder to replace than you expect. After hearing one my Aro sounded a bit metallic. Of the cartridges I’ve heard on the LTD the top Dynav... 
two problems with turntable
Rega's anti skate scale is notoriously inaccurate, better to find a starting point with the cartridge holding on a blank disc and set it by ear for best dynamics from there, which will probably be a slight increase from the initial setting. If you... 
Tracking error or ??
I think the under biasing idea is the answer but check that the cantilever is still in line. I had a similar symptom after a year of heavy lockdown use and found the cantilever was off skewed towards the outside of the disc even when not playing, ... 
Cartridges for Rega Tables
I’d never heard of those, will have to look into them.The Dynavector 17Dx is the right for Rega. 
Ortofon SPU Meister Silver MKII like cartridge to fit a Kuzma tonearm
THE SPU NE is closer than the Royal N.both want a tonearm with an effective mass of over 18g.The NE has an output of 0.2mV and an internal resistance of 2ΩThe silver has an output of 0.3mV and an internal resistance of 3ΩThe Royal N has an output ... 
Listening to digital and analog
I have a few thousand LPs and a store of CD rips that still get a fair bit if use but a lot of digital listening is to streamed music these day and is exploratory. The downside of streaming is not so much the sound quality, which is pretty close t... 
Different amplifier class for different music genres?
I had a demo of some Thiel speakers some years back using an Accuphase integrated. Tool was a waste of time  with this combo but the same speakers with a Rega amp were fine. It may have been more of a matching issue that just the amp as some Opera... 
why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal?
On a deck with a synchronous motor (Elite Rock) a new phasing capacitor resulted in the pulley just quivering back and forth, until the deck was turned by hand when it kept going. After a while it would start on its own in the right direction but ... 
A21SE vs Supernait 3 vs Eci 6 mkII
You’re going to have to hear them, each with sympathetic speakers. What suits a Sugden probably won’t suit a Nait, and Focal may well favour the Sugden despite the common ownership with Naim, I don’t know the ECI. 
transistor pre with the sound of tubes
Grandinote looks like what you’re afterhttp://www.grandinote.it/technology%20-%20en.htmlAs long as you don’t mind Italian. 
Acoustically incorrect cooling?
Some air cooled engines had rubber dampers between the fins so it’s not a new idea. Rubber chord is available from O ring stockists in a variety of diameters up to around an inch cross section and in different rubbers if you want to cut your own d... 
Center image on left side and don't know why
The Sumiko Masterset speaker setup protocol would seem ideal to tackle this situation. You might not end up with a symmetrical speaker arrangement but it should sort the soundstage out. 
Speakers The single most critical component
SEAS Exotic F8 not on the radar then?  
WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Pierrot Lunaire from Arnold Schoenberg, it can come as quite a shock the first time but maybe it doesn’t count being a Sprechgesang. 
Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away!
With only a few notches just try them all and listen for the one that sounds best, this worked for me with a Naim Aro anyway which has a similar arrangement.With a replicant stylus the VTA is pretty important to get right but you should haer when ...
