Redo you cartridge setup or have somebody who knows how to do it. What you describe is normally caused by a misaligned cartridge. Good luck.
Turntable sound bad
I have a Rega rb250 with mitchell technoweight, vta adjuster, dnenon dl 103 cartridge. A Rega Planar 3 plinth, with aftermarket steel spiked feet. The problem I am having is setting it up to sound right. After the first few songs play, the voices start to sound hissy, and progressively get worse toward the last song.
I am wondering what would cause this: turntable being out of level, Vta, cartridge overhang, Tracking weight? Obviously I am not doing something right, and this is way beyond my limited knowledge. Oh well I hope someone out there can direct me what to try first. Thank in advance, Jason.

Agree with Narrod and Viridian on both cartridge alignment and the arm/cartridge match. Here's a link to the HiFi mod . Mandatory reading for most Rega/OL tonearm owners IME. |
Thanks for all of the response. I am confused I thought that spiked feet, where only 1000ths of an inch is touching should isolate better than the sorbothane feet. I am using a Musical Surroundings Phonomena for my phono stage, set to reccomended settings from M.S. rep. I have read that the Denon cart was a good match for the Rega arm. I will try the re-allignment of the cart first, for I do believe that might be the problem. I will let you know the results. P.S. I do believe that the table sounded the same with the stock feet, but I will do a comparison to see if there is a difference. |
