I also find 75% of the time the forum tells me I'm unauthorised to post in certain sub-forums. I have to refresh on each page to remind the forum I'm loged in. Set up for best sound eh? Sounds like this could be the hi-fi thread to end all hi-fi threads! ;-)

It was a very long night, music went on at around 8.00pm and ended at about 3.30am so the desck was spining for almost 8hrs. The night went well though, if a bit hectic, will invite far less people next time, only about half the guests brought music, the other half just wanted to get pissed...

Start your own. I had a pretty successfull Vinyl listening night with friends over the weekend. I was surprised at how many people had records when they don't own a record player. Six or seven people were keen on doing regular record based socials and a couple are now looking into getting thier...

Got around 30 people coming to my very small house tonight for a "Bring a Vinyl and Food" party. - I will be opening the proceedings with my two latest purchases: New Order - Lost Sirens & The Pixies - Into The White - Half way through my contributions will be: Mischief Brew - Smash the...

Buying all the parts seperate will work out more expensive. Rega Planar 2 without arm for instance, on ebay selling for £80 to £100, Rega RB250 around £80, more for the RB300, then at the very least £35 for a cartidge (AT95e). Totaling £215 then you've got to make it work! I got the whole...

Thank's for the advice. I found another thread where people had a similar problem. I took the belt off and coated it in talcum powder then put it on pully first, pulling it around the sub-platter as advised keeping it at level as possible and it is much better. There is still very slight...

I found a video of a Rega with exactly the same problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il6A6-_qsw8 But here they have blamed an old belt, I know this is not the case as it's a white one straight out the bag. Need to get it fixed by Friday. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yup thats pretty much what I did but the belt does not stay still on the sub-platter, tried twice but will try again. It doesn't slip off at least. I'm guessing that it shouldn't be moving up and down the sub-platter in this way while it's spinning right? Searched the web but can't find any info...

Hey, So the new white belt arrived today for my Rega Plannar 2 to replace the stock one in time of a "bring a vinyl" party I'm hosting on friday. I couldnt find any intructions on how to put it on properly so I figured it was straight forward, wrap it around the sub-platter then ease it over...

Silver, I've got dark oak finish speakers sitting on a dark oak cabinet and the silver Denon amp sat between them really stands out. I guess if I wanted my sytem to blend in black would have been better but I want people to notice it. However, as some people have said some items and makes look...

Got the Rega, £120 plus the guy even drove me home so I wouldn't have to take it on the train. Can't say fairer than that. Currently I'm having to crank up the volume to Max untill I can get hold of a preamp. I'm realy enjoying the physical side of the fully manual system. Stangely I'm kinda...

Hey so I can get my hands on a second hand (maybe more like third hand) Rega Planar 2 in good nick with RB250 arm and AT95E cartridge. Would people recommend this as a first turntable? The other option im considering is the Pro-Ject essential for £20 less. I've heard good things about both and...

I was also wondering if anyone know anyhting about the SoundLAB Professional USB Belt Drive Turntable or the Technics SL-J110R? Both new and priced at £120 compared to the others mentioned.

USB would be a bonus but by no means essential, I can get most of the stuff in my collection in mp3 format off the net anyway. It's just owning the vinyl that i want. Plus some of the bands I listen too only release in vinyl (pretentious much?) Another option I have come accross is the Pioneer...

Connecting it to a Denon DM39 so (apparently. I checked with the guy in Richer Sounds when I bought it) I will require a phono pre-amp. After postage the Audio Technica is more expensive than I hoped. Would going for the Sony be a mistake? I dont really know where Sony stands when it comes to...
