Thanks Doug :) Looks like around £60 which is reasonable. Cheers, Chris

Hi Al, Yes but I assume that's what Groovetracer charges for postage and once it reaches UK customs I'll need to pay some import duty/tax? Regards, Chris

Hi all, I'm considering getting a groovetracer reference sub platter and I was hoping to get an idea of the fees involved in getting one delivered to the UK. Are there any members that have one and can tell me roughly what they had to pay? Kind Regards, Chris

Hi Al, It was purchased at a local sound specialist/rega dealer so they might be able to help me. I just don't have any way of safely transporting the turntable to them. If the Ortofon 2M Bronze significantly better than the Exact 2? I suppose I could give them a call and ask if they would do a...

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my cartridge to an Ortofon 2M Bronze in the next 2-3 months and I have no idea how to go about doing the installation. I've heard that spacers are required, but that's all I know *scratch_one-s_head*. Would any of you kind people be able to point me in the...

Cheers Al, I'll pick up a cheap level and check the platter. Could you also tell me if there's a way to upload images as a file here? I can only see the url method when I click to add an image. Regads, Chris

Hi Al, I've just placed it neatly inside one of the spaces in the bracing next to the tonearm , so probably not the most accurat spot anyway. Chris

Hi guys, I've just built my own isolation platform for my Rega RP3 and I'm trying to get the TT as level as possible. I have one of the circular spirit levels sitting on my RP3 and I just want to check - My bubble is sitting within the centre circle but not precisely in the middle. I assume...

Re-visiting this post... Little bit unsure of the mat thickness. The Rega RP3 felt/wool mat is 2mm thick from what I can tell. A lot of the cork or cork/rubber mats I've looked at are 3mm. Will this difference in thickness adversly affect vinyl playback or will there be an adjustment I need to...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a cork mat for my Rega RP3 and was wondering if some of you could put some suggestions my way. I've seen various mats online but I'm not sure if they can be used with the RP3. I assume they don't vary in size very much so can I just go with any old cork mat? Regards...

Thanks guys. I've had a read through your posts and I do like the look of that DIY kit for the DAK Genera Phono Stage. I may well order one on Monday when my student loan comes in and see if I can use electronics labs to build it :) I'll put some money aside over the next year and upgrade the...

Thanks for the suggestions. As I've only had the turntable for about 8 weeks I feel like it would be a bad idea to replace the cart before this one has had much wear. I do plan on trying a different cart when this one 'needs' replacing but I feel like a better phono stage would be the best place...

Hi Mark, The turntable I have is the Rega RP3 with Elys 2 cartridge.

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a stand alone phono stage for my Rega RP3. Currently I am using the integrated phono stage in my Marantz but I'd like to upgrade and I'm looking for relatively cheap options. The Little Bear T10 is a DIY valve amp that comes in a kit and I've read some good...

Hi all, I've recently started purchasing the various pieces of equipment for my new system and I was hoping I could hear some thoughts about the phono stage in the PM6005 from a few people that own it. I'm looking at hooking up a Rega RP3 Turntable and since budget is tight, I really can't...
