Is it worth fixing my clear audio concept

Got it fixed,  will keep for another year or so. While updating my integrated amp.  After that speakers(I have Nola boxers). Then possibly rega rp 10?   Thanks everyone for all your advice 

@charlessinchuk is the place in Asheville, agreed with @tomic601 great town, a Clearaudio dealer? If it’s just a random repair place they might not do wiring upgrades.

while in Asheville go see some great live music at the Orange Peel and at Jack of the Wood tavern…man i miss them both.

I think you want the arm rewired w very similar wire that is in there, probably a litz with some silver… Specify a top grade Cardas for simplicity 

Start a separate thread on your integrated search. At that price point you have many, many excellent choices…

Thanks guys. I found a place in Asheville that fixes turntables,  I have a verify tone arm and want to upgrade it as was mentioned.  Can you tell me what the upgrade is  called so I can ask for it by name.  I really didn’t want to buy a new turntable because me integrated amp is my weakest link.  I have an arcam a22.  I want to buy something on this website used for about 2500 used, which should be a good upgrade

sandstone, thanks that is what I thought but not that familiar with this specific arm. My great preference is for arms like this with continuous phono leads. The cartridge signal is exceedingly faint and the worst thing you can do is run it through a bunch of connections. Hard wired phono leads like this one are a lot better. This is the kind of thing where an accident repair can easily turn into a worthy upgrade. Far better to put a couple hundred into repairing and upgrading this wire than trying to buy a whole new turntable. Especially since this table will get you next to nothing in this condition. So it really needs to be fixed either way. Might as well do it right and have a better table in the end.

have it fixed. you can post pictures in the virtual systems section of this website.
ask Clearaudio for a recommended repair center.

The Concept series tonearms are almost certainly worth repairing unless extensively damaged.
The Verify arm retails for $1500 and the Satisfy tonearms list for $2000-$4000.  

These arms feature continuous strands of wire from cartridge through to the terminus of RCA plugs. 
Unless you're handy with repairs as MC mentions, you can order a kit or there are several rewiring services around.
 Start with your dealer, or contact a site similar to: britaudio.com. Guessing somewhere south of $350.  

BTW, Just my opinion, but the Rega RP8 very well might not be an upgrade for you, once this gets set up properly.

Good luck.

Sounds repairable the way you describe it. A tonearm re-wire can be done economically. You might even want to upgrade the cartridge at the same time.

I do want to keep it if not difficult (to expensive) to fix.

If there is a way for me to put pictures of the problems on this forum, I would.  I just don’t know how to do it.  But that would give everyone a better understanding of what I’m dealing with.

Only you know how much you liked the table, so only you know what it would be worth. Also only you know what "fork" and "ripped out" means. Every time one of these comes along it always turns out there's a bazillion critical little bits of information we learn only much later. 

Could be all's needed is solder the spade lug back on the ground wire and crimp a new cartridge clip and back in business. Or could be the arm can only be re-wired. Either way totally worth it on a table like that- IF you like the table. In reality the way these things usually go the guy just wants to upgrade and this is all story time. 

Which will it be? Wait and see.....
