Maybe then I'll be able to notice the difference between the OL weight I installed and the original Rega tungsten. Per what seems the consensus here, an inexpensive arm + expensive deck sounds better than the other way around, so either way I go, the RB300 is going to my next deck. I could go for one right now if I liked it, but I better wait for a larger budget).
Michell Orbe SE (like the looks better on the SE versions) Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace (ludicrously silly name, sounds like a Star Trek thing) Sounds silly or somewhat overkill? Well I can't hear it properly now, and reviewers talk about a 50-100 hours break-in period so I'll come back in a couple of weeks.Īnyway, after chasing around the web I've identified a few choices to go audition when I have the time: A 4 mm spacer is needed for proper VTA on the RB300, the same one I already had with the MC15. I now have a Kontrapunkt b all setup in my Planar 3. Oh, and and its been proven to me time and again a good TT with a lower cost arm sounds better than a low cost TT with an expensive arm and so on. Time spent looking at and auditioning kit is never wasted. As I said the best advice I can give is sit back and consider where you want to go with your system, then head in that direction anything else will cost you extra time & money.

In the end just got the best I could (not) afford - upgrades are now beyond my reach.įrom a personal point of view, Id say you really need to consider where you want to go and whats wrong with your current set-up? You mention going for another deck in a few years - you current TT, plus cash may get you a good SH one now. It was getting to the point that the later upgrades cost twice the original price of the TT and the plinth was the only original bit left. Even then there are limits - I had a Sondek for 20 years and it was getting like the old road sweeper joke, I've had the same broom for 20 years and only had 10 heads & 4 handles in all that time. I've never been a fan of equipment upgrades, unless done by the maker. The Dynavector 10x5 is a great all rounder, but if you require more speed and treble the Blue Point Special Evo may be better (but I wouldn't go there with your current gear) or if you require a more delicate sweeter balance Goldring Elite (far too laid back for some) and so on. Trouble is laalves, you are getting opinions on our fav' sounds/set-up. I now have the RB600 mentioned above, and it is an distinct improvement on the RB300. One my old decks had the same arm, and an earlier arm / cart combo that I've used on this one, and wasn't even close in performance. The motor unit can make a huge difference to arm and cart performance, so I wouldn't underestimate it in your equations. Ian Harrison (Ian Harrison hifi) can still get the excellent Denon D元04 which at £200 is a steal, and works well with the RB300. The max I would try is a Blue point special or an Ortofon MC25. I wouldn't entertain the Kontra B either as the decks not good enough to exploit it to the full.

I would either upgrade the whole lot to a p25, or stick with current deck, and upgrade at max to an RB600. To be honest laalves, the SME 309 is out of the Planer 3's leauge. Rega do indeed use a single hole, 24mm I think.
