Rega P5 / RB700 / Benz Micro Glider SL 0,4 mv / Basic +

[CARLOSKI]

Then I put the black plastic piece in the position of 4mm. The second option is to put 2 metal 2 mm each. 2x2: 4, jejej ...

Thanks for your advice.

Forgiveness. I do not speak English and use the Google translator.

Sorry, understood.
The 4mm is a pretty good starting point for most non Rega cartridges. It works on all of mine.

Enjoy!!

Bacobits OK. Thanks for your help.
Pobdré this is the one I have at home. I hope that does not harm the sound of REGA 5:

The world of vinyl has no limits ...
It's like Formula 1 racing. To win a second per lap unless you have to invest millions of Euros or Dollars.

The exception would be the Denon cartridges (various DL-103 and Dl-S1) which are much shorter than most cartridges-but still a bit taller than the Rega cartridges. My DL-S1 works well with the 2mm shim but not so much with the 4mm of shim.

I have already put the lift of 4mm. It is a separate function REGA original plastic wedge 4mm.
I have another metal of 2mm. I think back REGA RB700 arm is more elevated than the front where the cartridge.
I think it best to switch to the metal of 2mm. Best for 4mm 2mm too.

How does it sound, Carloski? Seems like it should be an excellent combo.

[CARLOSKI]

Sounds great. It is warm.
I'm thinking about changing the phono preamp for GRAHAM SLEE amplicicador ERA GOLD.
Is likely to remove from my system the Clearaudio BASIC + and put in place GRAHNAM SLEE ERA GOLD.

I can anyone clarify this?. Should I change?.
THANKS.

Carloski,

I own a Rega P5 for several years now, and also installed a Benz Micro Glider Low output. Fantastic combination. I use a spacer at the base of the pivot to raise the arm to accomodate the Glider. The detail, soundstage, Tri-dimensionality and warmth of this cartridge captivated from the beginning. And it should as the cart costs about the same as the P5.

However, when I manage to break the stylus by accident two years later, I was faced with a $600 proposition to have the stylus replaced. Hart broken I started investigating what suitable less expensive alternative was there.

I foud it with the Soundsmith in New York State (www.Sound-Smith.com), with their highest level of stylus replacement, their "optimized contour diamond/ruby stylus" replacement. The needle is made of a single slab of ruby, so when you look at it in the light it shines as a red crystal.

It takes about 50 hours of playing to be broken in. It sounded awesome from the start, but after the break-in it was sublime. It made what was a great cartridge to begin, far better. This mod is not cheap ($350 + shipping) but it's worth every penny in gold, and still less expensive than the manufacturer. I would not suggest you do it right now, but when your stylus wears out and it is time for replacement, consider doing this mod.

Buena suerte y buena musica. Que disfrutes.
