My Rega RP6, Exact combo may be going back due to hum.

Greetings again.

About a week ago I wrote on another thread the issue that I was having with my Rega RP6/Exact combo and the hum that it was making and how it got worse as the tonearm approached the spindle. My dealer is willing to take it back and exchange it for something different. He has been very gracious and even came to my house to diagnose the problem; returning the rig is not a problem. He has an Planar 3 with Elys 2 in the store with EXACTLY the same problem. He is also very disappointed at the product since just  recently started carrying the Rega line. I feel like I should purchase another table from him and the other choices are Music Hall, Project and the Marantz TT15 S1. I have heard the Marantz (made by Clearaudio) and it sounds great, although not in my system. He is also an Ortofon, Grado and Goldring dealer in case I want to try a different cartridge.  

Suggestions?? Thanks again.

Dear @czarivey : Normally an audio item manufacturer buil its items to a price point and Rega is no exception to that marketing fact.

I don't think is overvalued. Whom started to overvalued?, certainly you did not and maybe no one started because the true is that it's not overvalued and yes we can consider it as a budget line.

At the end are the customers whom has the last word, not you or me.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
