Dkzzzz, The stock Rega counterweight is 100gms. A heavier weight is necessary to counterbalance heavy MC cartridges so 130gm c'weight will not damage arm bearings. If you don't want a 130gm counterweight Groovetracer has 110gm c'weights as well. I would also suggest buying at the very least an inexpensive tracking force gauge. |
Hi Folks, May I adjust, in the Planar 3, the cartridge force by only using the weight, leaving the traking force in zero ? I heard the RB300´s traking force is not very useful.... What about the bias adjustment ? I also heard that in Rega RB300 is better to leave it in a lower value than the one indicated by the cartridge maker. On the contrary, Rega suggests to keep it in the upper limit... Anyway, there are a lot of "myths" about this arm and I count on your usual help.. Thank you all, Hernani |
May I adjust, in the Planar 3, the cartridge force by only using the weight, leaving the traking force in zero ?Yes you can, but you'll need a stylus pressure gauge to set the tracking force. What about the bias adjustment ? I also heard that in Rega RB300 is better to leave it in a lower value than the one indicated by the cartridge maker. On the contrary, Rega suggests to keep it in the upper limit...Bias adjustment on a cartridge? I don't understand the question. Are you talking about anti-skating? Or tracking force? |
Thank you for your return. Actually, I have already adjust the tracking force only by using the weight ( setting with a stylus pressure gauge). I felt the sound better..Am I be crazy ? Mingles, you are right..it means anti-skating....just below the tonearm....Rega uses to call it bias adjusment.. Thanks, Hernani |
