Alright, time for some elaboration:
My TT is not "officially" a Rega. It's an NAD 555, which is just a rebadged Rega. In my first post i stated it was fit with an Ortofon cart -- my mistake, It's the stock Goldring elektra.
When i first received the table it sounded warbly. Records just didn't track properly. since I was a salesman for an official dealer, i sent it in. The speed, cart, and motor were all calibrated and it was sent back to me. This was three years ago now.
Currently, my turntable and television rest on a "very" heavy solid wood and tile table by themselves. Not perfectly isolated, but isolated enough that the problem doesn't lie there.
I'm looking into cartridge alignment and force. I'm not about to mod my VTA just yet. I'd sooner sell the table and save up for something with VTA adjustment stock. Honestly, I don't know another soul with a semi-decent turntable. It's a sad state of affairs, being 23.
