I have posted this on another forum and previously on the WHSV Hi-Fi forum (without response). I'm posting again in case someone can help.

Ever since I had my Elys 2 fitted last year, I have been experiencing a strange noise whenever the stylus is lifted from the record. The sound of the stylus leaving the record is as normal but then it carries on with a sort of a rumbling, crackly sound that ends with a quiet, dull pop. It's very hard to describe but it sounds like an "echo" of the stylus leaving the grooves again.
Another problem I'm having is the cueing arm. On warm or hot days, the arm descends rapidly (too rapidly). On colder days, it descends slowly; normally. It never used to do this. Do the hydraulics fade on Rega cueing arms over time? Is this even fixable?
The third problem is again with the cueing device. The arm won't descend as normal if you push it all the way down i.e. 90°. If you push it all the way down, it starts to descend then stays in the 'up' position. It looks like shoddy design if you ask me. Something the Planar 3 is not renowned for. Is this fixable also?
Thanks
