Hutter-ly amazing!

Posted by: John Channing on 24 December 2000

After a delay of a week or so my Hutter tables finally arrived on Friday from Austria. The tables were ordered from a dealer in Vienna, mainly because the price they were offering was something like a third less than the UK dealers. Most of the ordering process was done by email and the dealer speaks perfect English so it was generally very straight forward. The tables were a custom order in copper beech. I didn't go for the standard size because I think that they are slightly too large for Naim. My tables are 500mm wide and 400mm deep with standard height 50mm Nickel spacers. Shown in the picture are the four Racktime basic tables, 2 for me and 2 for Tim Oldridge, that I ordered. The outer packaging is pretty large because it is designed for the standard 600mm tables. I could just about pick up each package of two tables, they were heavy, but not extraordinarily so.

Frank Abela's shop sold me this counterweight and Kevin + Tony have the same one (with groove), so I don't think we are all mistaken.

Mine is indeed the exactly same as Vuk’s, does have the groove, and from the same source, and specified as the heavy Rega counterweight. It is slightly heavier than the one that came with the arm, and it is a slightly different shape.

Vuk, have you got anyway to weigh your counterweight, an accurate weight of ours would clear this all up conclusively. I only have bathroom scales, and they are far to depressing things to go near.

Alternately, if Frank is out there I am sure he would be able to clarify this. The shop he works for is a respected and helpful Rega / Naim dealer, so I very much doubt anything remotely fishy is going on.

There seem to be a number of different counterweights for Rega arms out there, including stainless steel and tungsten, both available for Rega arms or OEM Rega arms, in addition to the after-market counterweights.

I bought my Extra Heavy Counterweight about a year and a half ago (when I owned a P25), and it was specially ordered from Rega (and took some time to arrive). It is identical in appearance to the standard counterweight on the RB300, except marginally bigger and a lot heavier.
