Cheers alears. I think it may be worth a punt!!

I would say if its an old or original belt then change it strait away. This will be the most likely cause. Good luck!

Hi, im thinking about taking the plunge and buying an origin live motor upgrade. Just the basic one. The main reason is for the speed change feature as I hate having to change the belt on my systemdek! I knw this sounds a bit extreme but those of you who have the same or similar deck will, I'm...

I would agree with shooter69. Wall mounting is always better than floor mount. And usually cheaper!!

There's nothing like brand new vinyl!! What a treat!!

Just got back from a local car boot sale clutching just over 30 albums. I spent a total of £12.20. What a complete bargain! This includes a near mint Hotel California. A mint Roger waters and an also mint copy of U2's Unforgettable fire amongst others! So I wondered if you guys had picked up...

I'm a few weeks in now with my Systemdek IIX900/RB250. I'm such a happy man. After being away from vinyl for over 8 years it's great to be back! Trouble is I have been funding my turntable purchase through building up my paypal account and am now trying to get a cartridge but I keep emptying my...

likearollincheese, Cheers. Thanks for your advice. I think your right. If it comes down to them both being as good as one another I may just go for the technoweight. I'll report back when I've done the upgrade but I think the cartridge will need replacing first asap!! Cheers

Hi Tarquinh, I do intend to upgrade the cartridge and know the route to go but I want to upgrade the arm as well, which is an area I'm not familiar with so am just trying to get some inside info. Mitch65, I think I'm coming down on the side of the Technoweight. As I have said, I have a soft...

Cheers raym87. It's a start though! I've also just come across the isokinetik system as well. Just to confuse matters!!!

Here's a question that has come out of my other threads. Which end stub upgrade for the Rega RB250 is best. Is it the Origin Live one or the Michell Technoweight? I have a Systemdek IIX900 with, obviously, a Rega RB250. The cartridge is a stopgap but hope to eventually work up to a moving coil...

Hi again! I'm thinking about a 2M red as well. Would you say it's a significant step up from a budget cartridge like the one I have, the goldring electra? I'm only using it as it was on the arm when I got it! I know you may not know the electra but it's what I would deem to be a basic...

Cheers Mitch65. I wondered if anyone had used that as I have a real soft spot for Michell stuff!

Hi, If it was me I would sell the lot and start again. You can pick up a really good rega or project all ready to go which will give you excellent results. I just picked up a systemdek IIX900 and a rega RB250 for less than £130 from ebay if you want to stretch the budget! Good luck with...

DIB: Since I got my Systemdek IIX a couple of weeks ago I've not stopped playing vinyl. Fantastic! Swapped the old Arcam cartridge it came with for my Ortofon 2M Red, re-balanced the platter and arm and it's everything I wanted. Initially I thought I might buy myself a Naim Stageline phono...
