"creativepart" has a point.

Your arm needs to be mounted at exactly the correct mounting distance as specified for Rega (I believe it's 222mm?) for Rega's one-null-point protractor to be useful. I take it it's the one null point type?

The second (outer) null point will most likely be off if the mounting distance isn't dead-on and you won't know it. :-)

You could try the 3 protractors at the very top of Vinyl Engine's protractor page - depending on whether you prefer Baerwald, Stevenson or Rega's own null points (which are 60,0mm & 114,7mm).

Ignore all this babble if your turntable is a Rega also or if you've gotten the mounting distance correct. :-)

Have you checked that the bearings are free from excess play & that there's no pulling from the tonearm cable? Has it been rewired at any point? Is the turntable level?
