Thanks for your quick reply, I've got the idea now about how to do the wall mounted shelf, your other idea about the spike mounted board sounds like an interesting option also. Your advice and help has definitely been a bit of an eye opener for me as the idea of some kind of micro phonic effect...

That was a very well considered reply and I am very grateful for the time and effort you have given me. I think you and lindsayt are both right about the microphonic effect taking place with the rega. I ordered some sound isolation hemispheres which arrived today, used a fairly thick wooden...

The problems I have are only on vinyl, the cd player is fine at the same volume, the speakers seem to have plenty of headroom. Distortion isn't the issue for me it's more like the higher quality that the rega offers seems to trail off at higher volume. As to high volume - yes I do like to turn...

The rega is sitting on a glass surface on a media centre table approximately 12 inches high, the speakers are on stands just behind the table. The floor is laminated wood on a concrete floor.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I don't think its the speakers that are the issue Hi-FiOutlaw, because it's only really on vinyl that it seems a bit disappointing, however I will try plugging in an old Onix amp and see how that sounds.

Thanks for the quick response CnoEvil, had been looking at the rega but not the others, I will certainly consider them for an audition if I can find them.

Hi I am new to the forum, hello to all. i have just rediscovered the joy of vinyl, having purchased a rega rp1 with all the upgrades, going through a marantz pm6500 into a set of monitor audio silver 1 bookshelf speakers on stands. I also purchased a cd6005 which sounds fine, but the sound of...
