Usually a slow response on lowering an arm is due to an air bubble. Sometimes the bubble goes away. You can try to help the arm lower faster with a very gentle push down. I have found after a few times "helping" it along the arm acts normally. Also, I have found with just daily use the arm with start to lower faster. Since it was in storage for awhile, daily use might just fix the problem.
Tone arm slow on the drop
I recently purchased a used Basis 1400 with a Rega 250 arm. It had been in storage for some time. Works fine but when cueing up the play it is painfully slow to actually get down to the groove. This doesn't seem normal to me since I am comparing it to the last TT I used.
Is this function fluid dampened or adjustable? I want to give it a shot of WD 40 but, will hold off till I can hear from more patient people.
