Rega 301 manual

Thanks again to all of you. Miner42 -- my cartridge is the standard Elys2. We need some kind of final determination here. Was there a consensus? This is super easy Slide the counter weight till it floats just above platter,set the dial force setting to the correct cartridge weight,set the bias slider to the same setting as the dial. If the table And platter are level it will be setup properly. Check stylus force with gauge to double check.

Matt M. Mattmiller, My question is how is one supposed to set the bias slider to the same setting as the dial on an arm like the Rb?

I see nothing on the bias slider to indicate a setting other than a notch about 3mm long placed near the end of the slider's shaft. I have no idea what this notch is supposed to represent. I have a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood set to 2. If you understand the Rega slider I would appreciate a more detailed explanation. First notch is 1 gm, second notch is 2 gm on the slider. Does not need to match VTF exactly, just close.

Use no or as little as your arm will permit bias adjustment. There is questionable need for such a device. I use none and there are many who feel that is correct. There is no solid agreement either way. It took a lot of effort to get it to sound right, but once I did, it was well worth the effort. Basically, even at a tracking force of 0, the arm will drift back to its stand, so that's normal.

Secondly, I strongly recommend you use a good stylus force gauge and set the tracking force without using the tracking force knob. It does have a tendency to pull the stylus out of alignment with the cartridge's magnets when set at anything besides 0 and lessen the sound quality. It will be be well worth it. Oh, and don't stress too much about the anti-skate.

A spring within the mechanism applies maximum negative VTF at the zero setting and above three grams the spring is effectively disconnected. Wiring is slightly unusual in that the arm tube is grounded via the left channel ground wire so there is no earth wire to connect back at the preamp. Despite its modest price it sets exceptional performance standards and could be used on many high end turntables - HFN It was clear after only a few minutes audition, that the RB was a top flight performer.
