RE: Rega Headache

There is a natural Anti Skate to Rega Arms because I guess it is controlled magnetically so
even set at zero there is an outward pull. I have had a lot of Regas and they all fell into a setting of less than 1 gram as best as you could read that on that scale.

You don't need much anti skate certainly not 1.75. It is never the same as the tracking force. Set it to less than 1 gram and you should be fine. Although I don't like any of the Rega cartridges the 3 hole setup makes it pretty fool proof to get accurate to Rega's alignment which I also don't like or use. If you are still having distortion issues check that cartridge stylus.

I do use a Shure Scale (make sure it's not magnetic) but it is very fussy to use so I have now been using a very easy Digital Scale, being more accurate.
