Now there's a man who really deserves a knighthood. 80% export. Nice one.
...and I do hope that if they do he tells them where to put it. His achievements with Rega don't need a gong.

....... a deliberate misuse of the technology, sort of like how guitar amplifiers use deliberate distortion....
So Jim Marshall got it all wrong?
Hahaha! Very good. I'll certainly be repeating this to folk in the future.Originally Posted by Joe P View Post
Regas run slightly fast so you can get a bit more LP listening in on any given night. It's one of the many reasons why analogue is better than digital.
I do believe you, Joe, even without having to force myself to listen to Cher again. The way autotune is used in that song (and tons of current hits) is a deliberate misuse of the technology, sort of like how guitar amplifies use deliberate distortion. Phase and formant vocoding is capable of very high quality transformations, and autotune is just a rather unfortunate implementation of the technology...
The Linn motor was earthed to a metal top plate that was earthed to mains ground.
In general you want the unloaded speed to be slightly high, because it will drop when in use as the belt stretches. And IIRC the speeds shown were very much in the right area. The idea of Rega running audibly fast remains a myth...

Because it is not substantiated as a Rega problem, and not contrasted with other non-servo belt-drive TTs.I don't understand where "myth" arises out of some sampled facts.
Thanks for sharing. A fantastic company and Roy seems like an absolute gent.

Incredible company and a very nice Owner/Director. A lot of research and advanced tooling. There is a lot of money there.
Interesting was the test benches for the different decks. Solid and high mass.
This is in direct contrast to the lightweight engineering of the turntables themselves.
It seems this is the way to site a Rega Deck ie. on a High Mass surface.
The high mass surface was to isolate the test equipment more than the deck itself. Vibrations affect the accurate of the speed measurement and bearing rumble sensors.
Understand.
Wouldn't that make sense in a real use situation? Doesn't really matter what you isolate what from ... , no?
