I've had 2 PT-6's, and 2 RB300's - one RB300 was rewired with the structural mod (aka heavy weight) and a VTA nut. I had them at the same time and preferred the PT-6. I'm running a Clearaudio arm on one table now, and a Roksan on another and both of those are better than the Rega by a mile. The Rega's sound fine, but are more complicated to to set up, although I think the newer ones have a 3 point mount and set screw VTA?? which should be an improvement.
Audioquest PT6 or mod'd RB250?
I'm trying to find out if one is significantly better than the other? The PT6 may have upgraded wiring. The RB250 is a Moth OEM, with incognito wiring, OL structural mod, and VTA.
Both would be used on a VPI HW19 mk IV with a Denon 103R. (tt arrives next week with the AQ mounted)
Here's what I've found so far:
PT6 -- some say it's great. Others ... not so much. I've read jelco made it and is very similar to their current 250 arm (not sure of exact model).
RB250 -- this was talked about very highly a few years ago when I bought it (never got around to using it). Has it stood the test of time?
Or...sell both and buy something else used.
thanks
