    I'm jorge.

    Default Hello

    My name is Jorge, I have had different kind of gear during my life but I decided 4 years ago to go back to basics. Currently I have a Rega Planar 3, Marantz PM7005, Carver TFM-6CB, Marantz CD6005, Bluesound Node 2i, Ascend speakers Sierra 2, SVS sb 1000 subwoofer, and for my dining romm Definive speakers and sw. I listen to all kind of music and love almost everything but rap.

    After presenting my self I would like to hear some comments regarding my concern about my new Rega Planar 3 which I bought about three weeks ago and I set it up with a Tangospinner subplatter and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge that I had in my old RP1 where sounded very rounded, pleasant and nice. I’m very pleased with the P3 mainly with the clarity and definition that I get in all solo instruments or jazz trios, but when it comes to a passage full of sound or when I have Etta James or Plácido Domingo singing loud, I feel a harsh not so pleasant sound, mainly in mid range frequencies. I don't know if the Red is not performing as it used to do in the RP1 where it had a warm and rounded sound or do I have to fit a different cart in the Planar 3.

    I’ll appreciate all comments and suggestions.

    Try reducing the arms bias as the RB300 mechanism applies too much. If you haven’t already done so check the tracking force with a balance scales (perfectly adequate digital ones can be had very cheaply from eBay).

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
