Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be
I am not a die-hard Willie fan but I do like his "Milk Cow Blues" album. A nice collection of blues songs and guest artists.

Rega hum
Which power cord should I upgrade? The Pre? My TT has its own PSU. I did find that if I did not have the TT PSU plugged into the swithced outlet on my pre the hum diminished somewhat. It (TT PSU) is now plugged directly into a wall outlet. This ma... 
Record Cleaning Machine
Buy used the first time. I recently bought a co-workers used NG 1.5Fi for $125 - a steal IMHO. My first RCM - wished I had done it sooner. It clenas the LPs so ggod and they look prisitne when I remove them from the RCM. I will replace the scrubbi... 
Rega hum
I am pretty sure the hum is caused by EMI since I get it with table power off - just not sure which source is the culprit right now. All my equipment is plugged into a Rotel RLC-1040 power conditioner. With table off, amp & pre on, when I turn...

Rega hum
Any other ideas? I have plugged the TT PSU into the wall outlet - no change, still hums. I am looking for dead silence when phono is selected on my pre (Rotel RC-1090) and no LP playing. This is when I notice the hum the most. I am at my wits end....

One reason why I prefer 'old school' vinyl. 
Rega hum
All RCAs were tight - no lamp on nearby but I do have a ceiling light that is on a dimmer switch. Light was not on though during play. By internal ground I mean that is the way the Regas are designed. There is an internal ground wire within the to... 
Rega hum
No, not added recently (8 yrs ago it was added). I have had the TT now for 1 yr and this was this first issue (other than location issue when firt purchased) I have had with hum. I am looking for a dead silent background. Hum does not occur with a... 
Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
On my way back to school after Xmas break I stopped at a local stereo store in St. Louis. I walked out with a pair of JBL Century L100s. I spend half of my disposable income for the semester on those speakers - best $$ I spebt during college. 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
Does this spring exist on teh RB-700 arm (on the P5)? I don't recall setting the VTF via a spring on this arm (in the manual). I did have my dealer set up my P5. Thanks for the guidance/suggestion for this newb. 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
I have a P5 with an RB700 arm. I am confused about the spring loaded adjustment for VTF on the RB300, which I am not familar with. Can you please explain the use of this adjustment on the RB300.
