I am looking into diferent weights for Rega P3. I wonder how much more heavier the Groovertracer(130g) weight than a stock one? 130g seems like a lot of extra weight pushing down on the tonearm's bearings, isn't it? Also I cannot find the answer to my question regarding Stylus force adjustment. Would installing Groovetracer require to disable original Rega force adjustment wheel? |
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? |
