    Technics SL-1210mk2 Tonearm Feedback

    Just picked up a NOS Technics SL-1210mk2. Never been used. Fitted an Ortofon SH-4 Heashell with an AT95e cart that was lying around to get it up and running but when it's powered up, with no vinyl spinning and I tap the armwand or use the armwand lock, I can hear feedback through the speakers...

    Rega P3 With and Without Spacers - Audio Samples

    Alright, so there is a bit of controversy over VTA and Rega turntables. Rega says it's insignificant and others claim it's critically important to maximizing sound quality. In regards to my recent VM540ML installation (Planar 3), some say a 2mm spacer will be required to achieve the best...

    Rega Turntable Upgrade

    Product upgrade is a completely new topic for me. Mainly to make a correct decision and not overdo it, but at the same time to improve the sound quality of my turntable. I am the owner of the old Rega Planar 2 with R200 tonearm with a new 2m Ortofon Red cartridge. So what can be done here. I...

    Which turntable to my new system

    Hi everyone I am currently assembling a new system after doing quite some reading on this forum (big thank you). A HH Scott 340-B tube receiver is on its way and I am working on the adoption (or kidnapping) of some Cornwall speakers. I am really interested in a Thorens TD-124 but it seems...

    Turntable Platter Wobbling Issue

    I have read and watched some youtubes regarding the said issue with Rega Planar 1. Is Rega Planar 3 with glass platter and RB300 arm having the same issue? And, as far as I know (and observed so far), most platters wobble a little bit, or, am I wrong? Are there turntables that are absolute...

    Rega Elicit - what speaker cables to use?

    I just recently picked up a clamshell version of the Rega Elicit integrated amp and read in the manual that I should not use speaker cable that are 'solid core' or OFC. Does this limit my choices for speaker cable that is above Radio Shack quality? Do you have any suggestions for good speaker...

    Hello all (mates?). I just bought a clamshell version of the Rega Elicit amp and while I'm awaiting it's arrival, I have a few questions: 1) One of the RCA inputs in the back has lost its sleeves. Where can I find replacements for them? Anywhere or are these made of British unobtanium featuring...

    CD Player Chirp...

    Hello everyone, just nabbed a Rega Planet CD player on Fleabay and, unfortunately, it has a playback issue. On some tracks (more easily heard on quiet ones) the CD player produces a "chirp" or "crackle" in its audio output (heard through the speakers). I have A/B tested the issue extensively...

    Origin Live / Rega RB 250 stub help

    This may be a stupid question/post, but I'm wondering about this one. I just picked up a VPI HW-19 jr with an Origin Live tonearm, I believe it's a modified RB250. The weird part is, the stub is very loose. AFAIK, you should be able to just screw and unscrew the stub, but this one just spins...

    REGA Planar 3 Replacement Tonearm

    I have an old Rega Planar 3 with a tonearm that is beyond repair. I am looking for a budget replacement arm (oxymoron, I know). Any ideas? I have a Pro-Ject Debut III I received for next to nothing. Is it possible to transplant that tonearm onto the Rega? How different is their geometry?

The pulley is from Analogue Seduction and listed as a Rega part, designed for the P3, but I am guessing that there is a...
