| Please help, distorted and hissy treble Do you have The Beatles Album Revolver? The Love You To track on side 1 by George Harrison is a good sound test.Try and get the harmony on the end of each stanza right i.e "...you don't get time to hang a sign on meeee" should sound sweet and harm... | |
| Budget MC Suggestions? Now the compliance is either 5 or 6cu.These are my calculations-based on Total Weight-12.5gms for the arm plus fixtures(nuts and bolts)1gm,plus cartridge weight,8.5gms=22gms.Then you multiply this by the compliance(5cu vertical for the DL-103)Find... | |
| Budget MC Suggestions? I figure the Denon 103 would have a cartridge resonance of about 13Hz on your arm Winegasman,and this is just about perfect anyway and would be a good match.With resonance you have to get it away from the danger zone of below 8Hz really.To raise i... | |

| help hot-wiring RB300 What about the 2 small rubber grommets in the stem.Are they pulled out or do they remain in the arm? | |
| help hot-wiring RB300 What happens to the earth wire? Do you leave the existing earth in and just replace the 4 coloured wires? | |
| Spindle oil I use what Rega recommends,80w/90 Gear Oil(2 drops only). | |
| Motor and Platter Clamp Upgrade I think that some of them can be done yourself after a trip to the rubber store.You can get some lengths of rubber cheaply that are quite thick,cut them to size and using a special rubber glue(Loctite)glue them into rings which will fit around you... | |
| Origin/Rega VTA adjuster? Thanks for your response Twl,I have done the filing with the sander from a bicycle kit and that seems o.k.How do I set the nut and washer under the plinth? It feels a bit wieldy,can I leave the washer off? |
