In fact, I would say it’s a mandatory upgrade for anyone looking to maximize the performance of their Rega tonearm. There are even other styles of arms such as the uni-pivots out there and some of those can go for rather large amounts of cash as well. Then, you untie the cartridge holder from the tone arm by gliding the tone arm lift bar to the rear of your new turntable. Also adjust the vertical height of The Q UP so that the TONEARM LIFTER it is not touching the tonearm with spacing of about 1. You can use either pliers or molegrips to accomplish this. Rega introduced a new tonearm in 2002 called RB 1000, it has an armutube made out of nude aluminium that is even more rigid than previous Rega designs and features better wiring also, while it has the same bearings as the 900 those tighter tolerances. Seemed pretty finicky as you had to remove the end stub to make the (very fine) wires turn the corner from the base down to the cartridge end.
Pick up preferred, can ship in appropriate packaging for extra Thank you Jelco Tonearms. But probably the best option is: go ahead and rewire the tonearm internal wire using something good with an extra 1' of length out the tonearm base.They list the number of shot scaled against the tracking force.00 : Rega P8 turntable without a cartridge in excellent condition. Rewiring them unless you know what you are doing is a right pain though and it's easy to stuff it up. This is the cable that is fitted to the RB303 and is the cable the Rega now supply for With the stylus guard on and a record on the platter, position the tonearm so that the stylus is over the beginning of the lead out groove. 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.Rega tonearm rewire instructions Specially made for us at Ammonite Audio and not available from any other GrooveMaster dealers, this tonearm is a simple drop-in replacement for Jelco 9″ arms, with 214mm spindle-pivot mounting distance. Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke. Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted. Dynamic balance graduated vertical tracking force (VTF) control applies 0-3g x 0.125g through resonance controlled spring. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ball races. A Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground.
Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance. Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert. Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replace conventional fabricated construction. SME engineers, recognising the potential of the latest complementary equipment, accepted the challenge to design and build a pick-up arm which unlike others in existence would make no detectable sound contribution of its own. 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm ABEC 7 ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ABEC 3 ball races. Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground.
Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replaces conventional fabricated construction. Although presented at a lower price it retains the unique one-piece magnesium tone-arm, dual-lock base and other advanced features listed.
The Series IV precision pick-up arm owes much to the technology developed for the acclaimed Series V.
