Just looking for some advice...
I have a 2016 Rega P2 (so no user changeable anti skate). I've recently upgraded the cartridge to an ND5. Whilst it is a huge upgrade in sound quality, I'm encountering problems and looking for advice.
Firstly, I should say the table is level and I use scales to check the downforce 1.75 as recommended by Rega.
My issues are:
*Tone arm pulls to the right (away from the record) when dropping
*Skips fairly frequently
*Seems distorted at times, especially in louder music, and more towards the centre of the record.
I should say no such problems with my old cart - but sound quality nowhere near as good (except for the distortion).
Any help or thoughts hugely appreciated,
Thank you!
