I find it hard to believe a deck could leave the factory with an arm that off. It's not going to pass any production test. A slight error maybe but that arm is way out.
absolutely right!I think possibly you need to count in a bit of tolerance with wordchoice due the language barrier,
I don't receive Mikhail as hostile minded towards Rega, probably meant 'solving the issue'
You're doing a sterling job in help though, exceptional, no question.
I’ve been in this game for forty odd years and believe me no one tries harder than Rega to keep their customers happy.
sorry my word choice. no hostilty at all.Mikhail, I think the use of the word "dispute" is unfair, all we have done thus far is to try and find a solution for you, no dispute whatsoever, as you know we have contacted our partners in Russia this morning in an effort to help and bring about a satisfactory outcome for you.
As an Apple victim you need all the help you can get. Will you be buying the new eye-meltingly expensive display that doesn't even come with a stand?

If every deck is fully inspected before being boxed then it's difficult to see how something that obvious could have got through the net.

Tell me that one of these fellows wouldn't have spotted this from across the room.
thanks! the first press Supertramp is not popular here as opposed to Pink Floyd for example (Soviet legacy). so I got it really cheap
How come it took me 10 years to notice it? Well, most of us assume that these manufacturers know what they are doing..
And that's why a universal headshell with azimuth adjustment was such a good idea!Exactly. When I could not get a 2M Black to align properly on my deck I checked the azimuth and found it slightly off. With no adjustment provided on Rega decks, or on most decks actually, I shimmed under the arm base.
I mentioned this to Paul Darwin and they sorted it out free of charge.
I suspect a huge number of people are using decks that are out and they do not know.
If your deck happens to have the standard chassis/wooden armboard, it would be worth checking that the board to chassis holes aren't mounded.My Linn Ekos 2 headshell is also off. Not as bad as the Rega in this thread but still unacceptable. How come it took me 10 years to notice it? Well, most of us assume that these manufacturers know what they are doing (big mistake) and don't go looking for problems. I'll have to live with mine as Linn don't offer a lifetime warranty and they don replace Ekos 2 armtubes.

Not that the Ekos 2 can't be off, but anything other than the arm pillar being at a perfect right angle to the chassis will affect azimuth.
