I'm generally very happy with my Rega P2.
I had the guys at the store (high end audio store) install and align the cart. On two brand-new records, I ran into the dreaded 1.8 second repeat. The first time, I thought it was a bad record, but when it happened on another one, I decided to increase the tracking for a little to see if it helped. It did. (By the way, it ocurred in the exact same spot each time, so there must be something on the record throwing it off).
So, my question: does this mean that the tracking force was probably too light? Or could it have more to do with the alignment. Or, would being slightly off-level cause this? I have a tracking force gauge coming in the mail, so we'll figure this out in short order, but I'd like to know if I have two broken records.
