PS I have resolder (mundorf AG) the cheap plastic rega rca (as my wbt is in the NAS)

my suggestion is to put a better one ,but change the rega cable is a better ....under the tonearm there is a little lateral screw ,after you can remuve the gray plastic ,here there is a little pcb where the arm wire is connect to out rca cable .

here there is a little copper string (arm gnd) that is connect to one rca gnd ,you can lift and put a separate wire for arm gnd if you have humm problem ,but I live in place , work fine with the jfet phono

decent cable can be supra EFF-I buy one meter and cut in half;)

ricardo Just remember nice trick at 0$

some unload (0 or max??) the spring for weight and use esternal elettronic balance ,and/or open the lateral of arm and put some wadding (or similar) to avoid resonance of spring.I don't know if work !

I see one detach the motor and put on brass pod ,just under in the same place ,reversible mod.
OR you can do a big hole on the Rega and put the motor in a pod at 7 oclok:p


my suggestion is armageddon psu and/or play with resistor for underVolt the motor ,a lot low resonance !!! My Nottingham start only with hand spinn ...!!!!!!
PS put a caps on power switch ,pop in my system....

I want five star for service after sell:spin::D

Very good news !

I already have a Rcruzgeddon waiting for it. I was not sure if the rega used the correct type of motor to be able to work at low voltages.... I built the 500VA (220 to 110v) to use with my RD80 (it now needs a hand start but became a really high definition TT).

I will keep you posted on the evolutions :)
