I have an RP10 as well with a Lyra Kleos and have found that’s 1.72 seems to be the best. I bought an Ortofon scale and it has been very consistent. Just curious what do you have you’re table setting on? I have been trying a few things and am wanting to try the HRS platforms.
Getting the cartridge weight setting right... Rega RP10
So, I have been listening to my Rega RP10 through my Conrad Johnson preamp and amp, and have liked the sound of it quite a bit. Today I received an inexpensive stylus pressure gauge and found that I was at 1.89, which I thought was pretty good for hand measured. Anyway, I reset the weight at the correct 1.75 gram setting. Soundstage immediately became wider and deeper. It sounded like a multi-thousand dollar upgrade. Cost $18.00.
So, for those of you who are wondering if getting the cartridge pressure right-- it matters-- a lot. I am glad i didn't wear out a cartridge prematurely, but am really happy with my $18.00 investment-- Truly, it sounded like I had just dropped $5,000. Happy listening to all.
