Damping Rega Table

Herbie's isolation feet beneath the solid undersurface might help your problem. For more money, Aurios MIB footers under the solid undersurface, away from the built-in factory feet made magic for my turntable, but it is weird when a turntable has "floating on air" feeling while putting on a record, or manually placing the cartridge onto the record surface. Also, the use of the "Non-felt mat" helped give a clarity and solidity to my records compared to the factory record mat. Lastly, with Rega RB-300 arm, using the Titanium Heavyweight counterweight unexpectedly made the single greatest improvement in the sound of my records.

Dougdeacon, Rega also had a leaflet that said : "Listen to this."

I had a call the other day from Rega superstar,Roy,
who knows which way is up."Hello" said Roy,
who is nobody's fool.
After chewing the fat for several minutes Roy,
who doesn't beat around the bush said
"I'll come straight to the point".And he did.

To cut a long story short the upshot of it all was that Roy,
who never taught his grandmother to suck eggs,
asked me,
who knows nothing from nothing
to produce a leaflet that would be of absolutely no use
to anybody, and this is it.

Apparently punters are forever phoning him
asking for leaflets that would be of absolutely no use to anybody.
And you,dear reader,
appear to be one of them.Which just goes to show.

You see, my mate,Roy,
on whom there are no flies, has a very interesting point.
He says that it's his job to make the product as well as is humanly possible,
and the dealers job to sell it
and to look after his valued customers.
There's no answer to that,is there?

The fact is that if you pop down to your local Rega dealer,
who it must be said may well be a hundred miles away,
you can actually listen to the the thing in comfort
with any available system(even your own if you wish).
You can then judge for yourself
and you might even get a coffee.

If you can't hear why you should buy a Rega
don't buy it.

And you can't listen to a leaflet anyway.

Ken Lyons, you da man!!!!!!!!!

Having considered my immediate options I put together a slap-up job of a 2inch concrete slab on pointy rubber feet as an isolation platform.Should I later try sorbothane feet on this? It is quite heavy and might be too much weight.stefanl
