90 minutes isn’t bad for a first time with a non threaded cartridge. Not bad at all.@NathanRicaud keep your chin up mate!
Get your arm fixed & get an engineer to fit your new cart if you don't feel confident. That's okay but remember to get back on the horse!
Ps I was bricking it for the 90 mins it took me to do mine!
I’m never letting my Dad touch my turntable EVER AGAIN!!!
I’ve given a few places a call and they were all very busy and I had to wait 2-3 weeks minimum, but one place said I can bring in my turntable tomorrow. They do the rewiring and he said his technician - Andrew - will happily fit my new Rega Exact on and will align the turntable and everything!@NathanRicaud keep your chin up mate!

This comment absolutely filled me up with joy Dukey when I read it! You put the biggest smile on my face yesterday and I was thinking about how much I love you as a person whilst working today!
I saw that on the MoFi studio deck thread and oh my freaking goodness, I cannot wait to come over to your house in 5-10 years time HiFi Guy!!!90 minutes isn’t bad for a first time with a non threaded cartridge. Not bad at all.
I won’t tell you how fast I got the Dynavector up and running.
so its probably going to take an hour or two to put in an ortofon 2M red?
Having a threaded body substantially reduces install time.
ooh i thought unthreadded meant no washer

I can’t wait to fall in love with you, your expertise and vinyl system!
I don’t even realise but anyone on here can always stay over at mine! But I definitely know I would be seeing HiFi Guy and would be visiting his place if I ever go to Orlando! I can imagine myself going to Florida in the future because I really want to go to Miami, and I would be more than happy to go to Orlando just to visit HiFi Guy and hang out with him and listen to his setup! He’s the audiophile God! Like, I really want to meet him!
Also, when I come to Germany, especially the Bavarian region because it’s stunning there and the Black Forest, I’ll try and catch a flight to see you!
How many carts have you put on the TT now? Had you not just installed a Soundsmith?90 minutes isn’t bad for a first time with a non threaded cartridge. Not bad at all.

Happy Days mate!I’ve given a few places a call and they were all very busy and I had to wait 2-3 weeks minimum, but one place said I can bring in my turntable tomorrow.

I’m taking the day off work tomorrow to bring in my turntable there and to get it all fixed and up and running! I’m so excited and the first record I play is going to be Against All Logic’s 2017-2019 as I just received that record yesterday after the delays with my shipment from Netherlands due to Covid! I absolutely cannot wait to play Aaron Frazer’s new album too and to play some jazz and disco! I’m absolutely craving vinyl and I couldn’t be any happier that I’m going to be getting it fixed tomorrow! I’m so happy and grateful right now! And work was cool with me taking work off tomorrow!
I’ve had 4 on it now- 3 Grados and the Dynavector. I bailed on the Soundsmith. I have a real problem spending big money on expendable items.
Just the 4 on it then in 2 years
I’ve had my Ultradeck for almost 3 1/2 years- I was an early adopter.Just the 4 on it then in 2 years
Do you have a pinch point for a cart? I mean the AT33PTG cart cost me just shy of £500 and I'm not sure I'd go beyond that for a £600 TT. Not sure it would make sense to me. What's your opinion of money for cart vs TT cost?
Wow, has it been that long for you & the Ultradeck.
I mean that's probably one of the reason everyone recommends the p3 as the great choice from 900 to 1500 or so.. because in 2022 I probably will do a rega or mofi with a mid tier MC cartridge. The issue though is rega has no VTA work and if you get the spacer the dust cover (which I shamelessly always have on) won't fit at all
As @Joe Mac said, the P3 is a lousy value proposition in the US. And as you said, the arm has no adjustments to allow one to get the mist of their cartridge. Add a spacer or VTA height adjuster- that’s it. No azimuth is possible save for wedging a bit of card stock between the cartridge and headshell. I’d not recommend a Rega for a US buyer. In the UK, at least they cost what they should for what they are.
