    Rega planet MK1 needs a little TLC

    I have a Rega Planet which developed the well known track skipping problem. I decided to open it up to clean the Lens and tracks for the optical head. On opening, one of the wires to the lid sensor broke, I took the sensor off to make re-soldering easier. There the job was left till after work...

    Rega Brio Clamshell vs. Rega Brio 3

    Hey guys, short question here, but hard to get an answer from someone with actual experience. I'm still gonna give it a shot if you don't mind. My amp is an original Rega Brio (clamshell with green letters and leds). I'm quite satisfied with it actually, but I have a deal on a Rega 3 for a fair...

    Rega rewire or replace - thoughts?

    I have a circa 90s Rega Planar 2 RB-250 in need of a rewire job (it has the Origin Live structural mod). I'm trying to decide whether to send it off for a Incognito rewire or think about getting a P3 (e.g. is the bearings that much better in the P3?). I just retired so bang for the buck is...

    Rega Apollo

    Hi all, So I bought an old Rega Apollo (1st gen - the wide bodied ones) knowing it had a disc read issue. Sure enough, CDs would start to play, then would stop 20 seconds or so into the disc. Trying the most logical easy solutions, I cleaned the lens. Nope. I then opened it up, and cleaned...

    Weird recurring problem

    Wonder if anyone knows what might be causing this. I've got a problem with the bass dropping out in the right channel. Only happens when listening to records so I don't think it's the amp or speakers. Turntable is a vintage Rega Planar 2 with an Audio Origami rewired Rb250, Shelter 201...

I currently own a Luxman P-406 automatic linear P-mount TT with an Ortofon 305 (conical) cart. It hasn't been a bad table, but I decided after reading a lot of upgrade threads that I should...
