I would recommend the Origin Live DC motor kit and structural mod to the Rega arm (www.originlive.com for details). Check on prices, you may have enough to rewire the arm too. WELL worth it - several members here have good things to say about the O.L. mods. My LP-12 is DC-driven and there's no looking back! P.S. you should probably get a new belt if you haven't already. Cheers, John
How to improve my old Systemdek?
I have an old Systemndek IIX w rega 300 arm ca 1988 and w a new Ortofon om 10. I have plans to put it in my system again. What improwments do you recommend for around 500$. Rewiring and a better cartridge? How good is this player compared to new budget players around 500$
