Azhar (Kuala Lumpur)'s RP6 upgrades


Azhar of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia finally joined in the tweaking fun "after years of wondering whether I should do it after reading so much in various forums. "

Let's see Azhar's feedback after upgrading his beloved Rega RP6:


Hi Micheal Lim 

Thank you for the subplatter and dual pulley upgrading + belt for my RP6 and of course the bearing as well.

I run it through both my faithful Audiolab 8000A & Marantz PM44SE w or wo schiit Mani + Mission 753 floor standing speakers. I wouldn't be more than happy to conclude that: 

1) Highs are cleaner. 
2) Low end better control 
3) The most significant I  would say the mids. Vocals airy. Instruments more apparent. Strings, horns, drumbeat etc better defined. The center imaging too I believe is much better. 






Overall I am glad that I have decided to do the upgrading after years of wondering whether I should do it after reading so much in various forums. 

Next would be the adjustable ss feet and the counter weight. 

Regards 
Azhar 



 Thanks Azhar !

Tony’s RP-6 with 3-point vta adjuster



Tony’s (of Ontario, Canada) surprise discovery after fixing the vta adjuster on his RP-6 turntable!



Hi Michael, 

The VTA mod is completed for my Rega RP-6 turnatable and it is very nice...I am really pleased with it. 




Having said this...I discovered my problem wasn't really with the VTA...but it was good I did the mod regardles... 

Through a series of many trials, I finally figured out why I thought I was getting "harshness" from my Rega RP-6 turntable. It was not my turntable - it was my ADC (analog to digital recorder). What I discovered is that my KORG MR-2000S recorder introduces harshness into the pure analog signal produced by the turntable...in PCM mode. But when I switch the recorder to DSD digital audio mode, there is zero distortion and zero harshness. Therefore, all this time I thought there was something wrong with my turntable, or cartridge, or wires or VTA...but the problem was in the final step - the digital recorder. Now, I am recording in DSD128 Hi-Res Audio mode and the sound is perfect. PCM is a great digital format and the problem of harshness occurs only on the KORG recorder - not necessarily on other ADCs. 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused and hopefully this information may be of use if a similar situation occurs in the future with someone else (highly unlikely!). 

Regards, 

Tony


Thanks Tony!

Karl’s (of California, USA) woody Planar 2 upgrades:

Hi Michael,

I received the sub platter and pulley. Everything is good quality and I am enjoying my upgrades. It is definitely an improvement over the stock sub platter and plastic pulley. As promised here are a few pictures of my turntable along with your upgrades:











Thank you,

Hello from New Zealand


Peter of New Zealand's new TT upgrades on his Rega P2 :




Hi Michael, 

All parts installed in minutes. 

The counterweight first. Got good improvement from less noise so background blacker allowing more music to be heard. 

Then the sub platter went in and another slight improvement in presentation overall. Good job by you. Fit and finish was excellent. 



Now wondering how sound may change when sub platter runs in. Could I ask why a running in period is need and explanation behind it?

Best regards 
Peter 

Ps : all potential customers should not have any concerns. Michael's products are superbly built and finished and deliver what he says they will Peter
