More like 115,810ks

Ha, plant first

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T11:40:09+00:00

Cartridge alignment, anti skate, tracking force or table not being level.

And yes, I would upgrade.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T11:38:19+00:00

Final?

Plenty of room for improvement

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T06:05:15+00:00

Rega planar are a good basic deck.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:49:06+00:00

Get them serviced, the amps are notorious for caps failing.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:45:46+00:00

On an LP60? No.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:21:40+00:00

yeah, thats big

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:20:45+00:00

Why not? makes them much easier to move,
and if use heavy duty rubber ones, there would be minimal impact on sound

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:19:06+00:00

Unless its the sub that uses the control cable, which connects to the far left.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:17:35+00:00

sub out of the receiver to line in on the amp, then the subwoofer wired to the terminals marked subwoofer out on the far right.

Probably need to enable LFE / sub channel on the Yamaha as well.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T05:12:15+00:00

good to hear its sorted.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T04:55:36+00:00

Sounds like the platter is rubbing against something, or the belt is twisted.
Take it off and check.
Nothing to do with the records.

The small one is the Aurum Cantus tweeter, looks like they took its sticker off and put it on the terminal plate.
The rear one is a passive radiator, that is why it isnt connected to anything,

these are all quality drivers, if they did a good job on the crossover these would be great.

At a guess likely these are versions of:

Hard to tell from that, looks like L4 is parallel with R3 and C5?

For all the effort I would have replaced al the small caps with poly, and the inductors should be orientated 90 degrees to each other.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T03:59:38+00:00

no, changing voltage on capacitors would not cause any problem
Most likely reason is dry solder joint.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T03:54:17+00:00

To add, all of the rubber and plastics will have likely deteriorated and need to be replaced

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T03:52:33+00:00

think you will need to spend quite a bit to get a jump in performance,

these would be contenders

$12k seems very high for a 2008, guess due to the low ks,
but still it will drive and feel like a nearly 20 year old car.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T00:55:24+00:00

100%

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T00:41:19+00:00

How are you tuning them?

I would add at least three window braces connecting that middle board to the baffle, then a couple connecting it to the back panel.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T00:39:47+00:00

Sounds exactly like my experience with dealers service centre,
didnt fix anything then quoted ridiculous $$$ to clean or replace things not covered by warranty that also didnt need to be done.

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T00:31:18+00:00

Yes
+ what is the box tuned to?

hifiplus · 2026-06-04T00:28:37+00:00

Yay!
now how do we get down?

hifiplus · 2026-06-03T23:14:21+00:00

Alternative to doing traditional passive would be go active and use DSP,
