I think I have finally made my decision, but feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. I decited to go for a Cambridge Audio 651p preamp. Accoring to the specs it should be powerfull enough to work with my low output (0.2mV) Orofon MC20 cartidge. Thanks

What do you think about Musical Fidelity V90 LPS? Would it be a better choice than previously mentioned Pro-ject?

Thanks guys, but I can see or rather hear potential im the Ortofon MC20 MKII cartidge therefore I would prefer to keep it.

Thanks for your comment. Would you recommend anything in particular that works with a moving coil cartidge? What do you think about Project Phono Box Mk2 would it be worth cosidering getting one of them?

Hi, I have recenlty "upgraded" my setup to the Rega Planar 2 turntable that comes with a decent Ortofon MC20 MKII cartidge. It's apparently a low output cartidge that produces a really low volume combined with my ROTEL RA-05 amplifier. What would be the most efficient and cheapest way of...

I thought it will be a good buy as it has never been used. That's right- the tonearm swings outwards if zero-balanced even with zero antiskating applied.

What do you mean by the pulley being tight on the motor shaft? I've checked the pulley and it's quite flexible and when pressed by a finger it moves left and right and you can also push it slighty down. Thanks,

Hi Everyone, I just have a few issues with my freshly purchased second hand Rega Planar 2. 1. The tonearm keeps returning despite balancing it according to the manual. 2. The platter speed is too slow. It spins well without the glass platter, but slows down when the platter is on it. 3...

The belt is fine, but the platter can be easily stopped by a finger.

It's Rotel RP-855 from early 90's.

Hi everyone! I'm experiencing some issues with my Rotel RP-855 turntable. It worked perfectly until today when I have tried to play some records and the spinning was too slow. The platter spins, but it's very slow and sometimes needs an extra manual push to start. It also stops completey when...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience in adjusting Rotel RP-855 tonearm equipped with Audio technica AT 110E cartidge? I have checked the turntable owner's manual, but the guide specifies the distance from the centre of the spindle to the stylus tip only... Alternatively is there any specyfic...

Thank you again. I have a local handyman guy and I will ask him for a quote on Monday. How could you explain the distortion that comes throught the speakers only but not headphones?

I have opened the amplifier again to look for any bulged caps, but I could not find any. Alhough I found something that looks like a fluid leakage around the caps as per attached image. Furthermore the cap on the left looks as it seats directly on the surface (board). The discolour on the...

I have closed the cover already, but looking through the cover grill they all look fine.
