Afternoon,
As the title says I'm a little underwhelmed by the sound coming from my Rega RP3 at the minute. I have had it a while now and I've modified it slightly over time and currently it has the white band, a new subplatter from Gus and the rega TT PSU upgrade. The cartridge I'm using is a Nagaoka mp-110. All this is going through a Roksan Kandy K2 intergrated amp and a pair of B&W 683 s2's. It's like i'm listening to records with a curtain between myself and the speakers if that makes sense? When i put a CD on I'm blown away by the scale of the music and how good the speakers sound but just don't get that feeling with vinyl. It's only since upgrading the amp and speakers (done at Christmas) that I've noticed this so I'm wondering if it's the cartridge, as I say my CD's have never sounded better? I've printed off some alignement protractors so will try a different set up of the cartridge to see if this helps, the VTA on the arm looks to be fine so I don't think it's that. If any one has any other suggestions I'm all ears.
Cheers.
