If I were you i would set up tracking force using Rega wheel and then check the accuracy with a stylus pressure gauge. I am really curious how accurate is Rega's tracking force adjustment.
Would you do it for the benefit of educating me and keeping this in a forum's knowledge base?

Thank you.

Dkzzzz,

I have already checked the Rega wheel accurancy by using the stylus gauge and in fact there is a little difference. However, what I am saying, is that I really felt a sound improvement by setting up the traking force using only the weight, keeping the Rega Wheel in zero. I really don´t know the reason why.
The same thing I noticed when I kept the anti-skating in a lower value than the one indicated ( 1,75g ). I kept it in 1g or even less...I am still in doubt about this procedure....

Is your table relatively leveled? Have you checked it with carpenter's level? That might contribute to the change in a sound, just a guess.
I try it on my Rega as well tonight(seting the skate lower).

As far as all talk about Rega wheel being inaccurate...well the rumor was created to (as I expected)justify additional spending.

I am juts speculating but the reason sound changes when you leave Rega Wheel at zero is because that spring inhibits the arm up and down movement when wound tight. Thus, my guess is when it is at zero and arm is relatively free to bounce up and down with only resistance provided by the bearings, the sound reproduction improves.

Thank you for your return Dkzzz..Your guess about the Rega Wheel may be correct....
Yes, I have already checked my TT with a carpenter´s level and it is just fine..Sorry, I didn´t understand...Have you also tested a lower anti-skating in your Rega ? If so, what did you think ? As well as , have you also tried to leave the Rega Wheel in zero, feeling a sound improvement ?

Thanks,
