| What cartridge for Rega P5? I have a P5 with the TT-PSU and am using a Benz Micro Glider SL and love the combo. However, before upgrading to the Benz I was using a Rega Exact 2. I must say that for the money the Exact 2 is a good cartridge, but I think you can do better with... | |

| LAST record preservative Mofimadness, I have LAST stylast treatment. I will give it a try with the few LP's I treated with the LAST preservative. Hopefully, that does the trick. I am new to vinyl and have read so many good and bad things about LAST products. I am just ver... | |
| LAST record preservative Mofimadness, have you listened to your LP's before and after the treatment of LAST preservative? I clean my new and used LP's with Disc Doctor Miracle cleaner on my VPI 16.5 and then let then dry. I will listen to the whole LP. After I have listen... | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue Got my table back a few days ago with the new motor & pulley, and all is well! I wouldn't say the pulley is 100% perfect, but it is 95% better than it was. You have to look really hard to see the slightest imperfection. | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue My dealer contacted Rega about the wobble in my drive pulley, and Rega agreed to replace the whole motor and pulley unit! They said there should not be any wobble in the pulley! Although, I looked at the stores demo table and could see a slight am... | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue I called REGA(Sound Organization) today, and the rep I spoke to said that the wobble was not normal. Although, the rep asked if I could here any effects of the wobble when playing a record. He then said that it must not be bad enough to cause a pr... | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue The motor and the shaft seem to be attached firmly. It looks like the pulley was not machined correctly. I am going to call Rega to see what they say about this wobble! I just spent over $300 dollars on the TTPSU which seems like a waste of money ... | |
| Rega P3-24 or RB301 anti-skating bias I have a new P5! My tonearm exhibits the same behavior! My table and tonearm sound great! I wouldn't worry about your tonearm, it totally normal. | |
| REGA VTA Question According to REGA, they manufacture shims for those people that buy REGA tonearms for aftermarket TT's. REGA says that you should absolutely not adjust VTA for any cartridge using there own TT and tonearm. The arm tube was exactly parallel to the ... | |
| Cheap SS phonostage I have spent the last month listening to some inexpensive phono-stages. I recently bought a REGA P5 with a Benz-Micro Glider. After I bought my self the TT and cartridge, I only had a few hundred to play around for a phono-stage until I can afford... | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. The reason I upgraded the cartridge was because I had a faulty cartridge and was given the opportunity to get a better cartridge at a really good price! Given, the performance capability of this cartridge I would upgrade my phono stage over time. ... | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. The bass from the stock tubes seemed mushy and slow! There was not much impact or slam! Thats how it sounded with my gear. The harmonixs tubes have much better bass control! I recently had spine surgery, so for months all I have done is listen to ... | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. Well, I wound up purchasing the Phono Tube Box II with Harmonix 12AX7EH tubes! Much better! The bass is tighter and more focused! The bass output is a little less, but more accurate to my ear! These tubes only cost $14 dollars each! They did not h... |
