    also, you cant stop a magnetic field, only redirect it. Lead does interact with a magnet but only very slightly.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Yes, I’ve learned this since then, but I still wonder why Marantz and others use copper to shield their equipment? Perhaps it just looks cool? But the minor hum I discovered, that I could never actually hear while playing a record, was enough for me to rationalize the purchase of a VPI Scout! No more hum, but it’s just a better ‘table all around, the differences are immediately noticeable, and I have no regrets!

    Hello again,
    long time since my last post here but finally got to the bottom of this and thought I should put a close on it.
    Like some have already said, its just the thing with Rega. I took the TT back to the dealer and they tested it and its no different to what they have there. It is not audible when playing unless the amp is up really high and its a quiet piece at the end of the record. It is too loud with the amp up that high and therefore it will not be an issue for me. I just wanted to be sure that my TT was ok and not subject to a manufacturing issue. I am pleased with it and looking forward to upgrading my Ditton 33's next.
    Thanks for all your help and comments
    Cheers
    Bruce
