Hi all, first post so go easy.
I’ve been searching the web as my P6 which I brought new just over three years ago from my ‘local’ dealer has a plinth that is sagging over time. It was perfectly straight when purchased but, has sagged / warped / dished over a period of time.
I’ve got a call back from Rega tomorrow as I’ve made a 2 hour round trip to my dealer to drop it off and it’s come back from Rega to say that it’s perfectly acceptable. I fail to understand how something that was straight upon manufacture but has later developed a sag is and can be acceptable? How long before it is outside the tolerance Rega allow and then what happens? It doesn’t appear that a lifetime warranty is all it’s made out to be.
This isn’t a dig at Rega, I’m just putting it out there to the doubters that there is a problem whereby plinths are deteriorating over a period of time and it’s certainly not Rega bashing from me.
This is my first turntable in over thirty years and I pushed myself financially to buy a P6 to avoid the ‘upgrade route’ I certainly wouldn’t of bothered if I had known this was / could be an issue which is a shame because it’s a fantastic table!
Here’s some videos I’ve uploaded of mine.
