The Q Up and Rega RP6

Is anyone using the Q Up on a Rega RP6? If so, are there any issues to be aware of? What are your thoughts about affixing it to the plinth with double stick tape?

 

Hey Tim, I sent you a few pics of mine that might help you out via email.....the bottom of the it is about 1.5" x .5" - when it's adjusted (and it comes with multiple bases) the center portion of the device will sit above that bracket between your arm and platter. How big is that hole?

 

Thanks I'll take a look at them and let you know.

 

For real? No one has put one of these on a RP6? How about a different Rega table?

 

I've been using a P3-2000 for the last 10 years. Not sure what this device would do for me? When a record ends, it spins in the runout groove until I walk over and change the record.

 

Until one day when, God forbid, it jumps that run out groove up onto to the paper label and trashes a cartridge. I'm sure you're pretty quick on your feet and it doesn't just sit and spin there for a long time, as I try to be as well. But for the odd time that I might get distracted or forget about it, this is a $60 insurance policy. I'm just trying to find out if anyone has fitted one to a RP6.

 

that would be a drag! actually didn't realize that happens. at least it hasn't happened to me in 10 years.

 

LOL, me either. But there's a discussion going on about it in the Hardware Forum and that's where I learned about this gizmo. I figure now that I've been confronted with it if I ignore it something bad is going to happen!

 

Looks pretty interesting actually... but I have to admit, that I've never had a cart jump the runout onto the label – that I didn't precipitate.

 

I have it on my RP6. Fits in the hole...works with the base (the tonearm is mounted higher than the ones on the old Planar 3) and it works great!
Don't hesitate. It rocks on the RP6!

 

Had one on my VPI Classic 1 and Classic 2, worked great.

 

Now we're talkin'! Thx!

 

I put one on my Marantz TT-15 and migrated it to my McIntosh MT-5 when I changed over to that. It is very flexible in terms of height adjustment and angles. I think that it's pretty universal and worked perfectly on both tables.

 

This Q-Up device looks good. Anyone know of something like it for the Technics SL-1200 line of tables?

 

Can you post a picture of how you have it mounted? My friend tried to use a Q-Up on his RP6 and the brace got in the way, making the body of the unit too tall to clear the tonearm.

 

Will do tomorrow.

 

Ok I have the pic but it's on my computer and this isn't easy to navigate to post a pic here.

 

This is a good site I use for free image hosting: http://postimage.org

 

I have my Qup attached to the RP6 on the same spot. Just set center the base in the circle and the upper part of the Qup slides further or closer to the tonearm. Installation was based on Paul K. recommendation. Cheers.

 

Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? I brought a Q-up back to Brazil this trip to put on my RP6 and only got around to trying it this past weekend. I'm using a GT Reference Subplatter with a GT Delrin platter and the stock Q-up (without using any of the "lifter" blocks) is too tall to go under my tonearm? Since other people here have clearly stated that they are using the Q-up on a RP6 I'm wondering what kind of bonehead move I've made so that it doesn't work for me?

 

No idea, my friend returned the Q-Up as there was no way it would work on his table. I wonder if there are two different size Q-Ups?

 

It hasn't happened to me ever.

 

I use a q-up on my p3-24. It installs easily with double sided tape and works great. Don't use any of the included bases.

 

I might pay $5 max for that thing. Looks like it makes the tonearm bounce.
