[QUOTE="stereoholic, post: 949864, member: 20579"] The problem is not so much the fixed anti-skate, but in how they set it at the factory. Mine was set with an excessive amount which was so extreme it caused the stylus to slip off the edge of the record. I could hear the difference immediately after loosening the magnet and setting it by ear. If Rega wanted to go this route they should rather have left the magnet loose and let the dealer/owner set the position as required, and then it could be glued in place if need be.Even better they could have fitted a grub screw to snug the magnet down, after adjusting. For me it's not really a deal breaker as it actually is adjustable after performing the required surgery. [/QUOTE]
