    Couple of points: i) When I first set my P3 up one of the cartridge wires was pushed down and preventing the needle sitting down on the LP. Took me a while to work out what was going on! Worth checking. ii) This video doesn't mention the cartridge alignment using the paper protractor paper disk that comes with the unit.

      i know this is late but maybe better late then never. i was surprised of the advice not stop the platter. I've been taught setting or removing while spinning will cause micro scratches in the vinyl, tho the platter matt is generally lint/scratch free the dust that collects on top is not. And as we know if dust can scratch clear coat on a car it sure in hells can scratch soft vinyl records. Hope that helps. For the record(no pun intended) i don't claim to be an expert, just someone with some sense is all... good luck

  • @thomasandersen1784
    @thomasandersen1784 4 года назад +3

    This will work, 4 sure. But there is much more accuracy, if you do it like Rega say in their manuals. The arm should float 1mm above the record SURFACE, and this is important to understand here. When i see set-up vd's on-line regarding Rega decks, no one uses this method with a blank sided record, which is the safest way to do the job as Rega suggest. I have a blank sided Record and use it for setting up tonearms on various Rega decks. The accuracy is so much more easy to get right this way, as the floating itself has some flaws (imo). But the way showing here works fine, but is not that accurate. Cheers

    • @rabarebra
      @rabarebra 2 года назад

      There are different thickness of records as well. This is not as easy as it seems. Best way is to use your ears and gradually lower the counterweigh from example 1.75 down to 1.74, 1.73, 1.72 etc. till you get that "wow!".

    This turntable probably was not level because when the arm had zero downforce, it moved to the right , back to the armrest position. If it was perfectly level, it would not have moved. Recommend a bubble level to set this up.
    The 330 arm is very good because it uses dynamic VTF and anti-skate. It also has the three-point mounting of cartridges that is more stable and rigid than a typical 2 point cartridge. Think of a two-legged stool. I have not seen a static balance arm that I would want all other things being equal.
    The biggest problem with all fixed plinth TT, not just the REGA, is acoustic breakthrough. The narrator alludes to this. Thus it is best to have the TT mounted on a wall shelf preferably in another room. With box speakers having it in an equipment rack between the speakers is a no-no. One either requires a floating sub-chassis turntable or one of those mega-bucks TT that weigh 300lbs. Minimizing acoustic breakthrough, especially if you are using sub-woofers and the like, is extremely important - you can actually get howling noises and so-forth.

    • @brave1671
      @brave1671 6 лет назад +5

      There is an "offset" antiskate force on RB330 which is active even when antiskating is set to 0. That is why the arm moved towards the armrest position.

      ciao Fabio, totalmente d'accordo con te, anche io penso che mettere nero su nero su una ghiera non sia una grande intuizione! In ogni caso, ho fatto come te con il RP3 (nero però): sono partito da Elys 2, ho aggiunto il modulo esterno TT-PSU e un mese fa ho fatto il passaggio alla Exact 2. La qualità dell'audio riprodotto è enormemente migliorata con il cambio di testina, soprattutto bassi più corposi e maggiore dettaglio in genere, l'unica cosa è che va settata perfettamente a 1,75g a mezzo di una bilancia (le tarature sulla ghiera non sono "reali" e corrispondenti al peso necessario), diversamente la resa audio diventa pessima.

      Rega does lack a a lot of the adjustment options common in competing brands like Pro-Ject, and they also don't publish any specs like SNR, wow and flutter etc. However, their RB3XX series tonearms are some of the best tonearms in the industry (in their respective price points,) and have been commonly used in audiophile turntables for decades. They easily compete with Pro-Ject's carbon fibre tonearms.

      anusheadproductions Very few turntables in this price point have VTA adjustment. Even the VPI scout jr does not have a fully adjustable tonearm and it costs more than the Rega. The RB330 tonearm has very stout bearings, and the tonearm is leaps and bounds above the one on my Debut III. It is not uncommon for people to mount very expensive cartridges ($1000+) on the p3 tables, the tonearm is that good. If you like to tinker, the Rega is the way to go, tons of aftermarket support. After owning a few Project tables, I really feel the Rega is better once you get over the $1000 price point.

    After owning this thing for over six months and using it every day, I must say I'm extremely disappointed in the overall design of the turntable. While it sounds great, every other aspect about this machine feels cheap. The tone arm lever is incredibly ridiculous! That thing is so close to the tone arm, I hit the tone arm causing it to scratch across my records almost every time. For the price, REGA needs to fix some of these issues. The cover is so irritating to deal with as well - it just doesn't want to stay on the hinge when being opened. I would not recommend this turntable, it just feels way too cheap for the price they are asking. There are better options out there. Don't believe the hype.

      We are sorry you are unhappy with your P6. Have you talked to the dealer you purchased it from? It sounds like you have defective hinges and possibly the lever is out of position. If you purchased it from Audio Advice we would be happy to help.

      Thank you. That’s what I was feeling.

      I'm unfortunately still having to use this piece of sh*t. This purchase is my biggest regret ever. The turntable is so unreliable! The speed is either too fast or too slow. You sold us the ridiculously unnecessary speed control box, but BOTH of the ones you sent us didn't work. We asked to return it, and we got an email back about someone having a baby and then never heard from you guys again. I have had many record players since the '80s, and these turntables are the cheapest pieces of garbage I've ever owned. I want to throw this f-ing thing out the window today.

      ​@@jimbojet8728I regret my Planar 3 purchase so much. It is now spinning at the wrong speed, and we are unable to fix it.
