Stalking Leopard Resonance Killer

I thought I'd show you you guys my latest tweak for the Rega: The Stalking Leopard.

The leopard stalks and hunts destructive resonances and kills them dead.

The result is markedly improved imaging, instrumental timbre rendition, tighter bass, and better soundstaging.

You can toss your smoky quartz stones, myrtle blocks, green dots, and brilliant pebbles....Resonances never knew what hit 'em when The Stalking Leopard is around.

Any Rega P1 owners?

Are there any Rega P1 owners out there who are having trouble with noisy motors? I'm on my second motor and I'm still getting a (less noticeable but still there) chugging sort of sound coming from the unit. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if my deck is possibly defective beyond just the motor. Thanks for reading and happy listening!

Problem with speakers, amp, or cd?

I played a new Christmas cd for the first time this morning and was annoyed at the sound quality. It's a Telarc cd of classical piano music by Bach, and I played it at low volume through my venerable Luxman R-404 amp and Polk Monitor 10's.
So, what's with the funny "bzzt" noise that I hear on certain notes? I tested another piano cd with more forceful playing, and even turned the volume up, but didn't hear the same noise at all. Same thing with various other instrumental and vocal cd's.

I'm old enough to remember when "Made in Japan" was an insult. As a child, I saw that phrase on only the cheapest or craziest toys&#151;some stamped out of tin and cupped together by a tab with a fiendish edge, some molded from a distinctively smooth, brittle plastic. The latter included a wind-up bunny on wheels that my father brought home one day: my favorite toy, ever. (It came with a double-barreled dart gun that I seldom used, partly because I loved the bunny too much to shoot it, and partly because the suction-cup darts didn't stick to that kind of plastic in the first place.)
