This was my 1st TT and I worked on several upgrades over 3 yrs or so. I had the same setup with the RB600 arm. As per Fretless and Audiogalor, this TT has a a lot going for it. The only item I would disagree is with VFTA. Now I purchased the Pete Riggle VTAF adjustment designed for the RB arm. I called him up( easy to talk to ) - and he set me up with Hess Tool and Development to machine the armboard ( much less expensive than a local job in the SF Bay area ). You have to redrill the armboard to accept his unit ( and since this is aluminum it is best left to the professionals). This adjuster made a big difference in overall depth/sound as you can adjust the arm on the fly.
The second major improvement was to rewire the RB arm. I 1st tried the Incognito Rega Cable Kit - now I know others will disagree, but after I used the kit - the music seemed thin. I then pulled out the factory cable I had removed. The main phono cable/RCA connectors terminates at the base of the RB arm and then uses some lesser grade tonearm wire. I purchased the Cardas 4x33 unshielded tonearm cable - rewired the arm a second time and soldered the wire to the 4 terminals on the interface base - this was a bit of a pain. At the cart end use the Cardas tone arm clips - with very small shrink tubing along with the proper colors. I purchased most of this stuff from the Cable Co.The final result was a much fuller sound.
Lastly - I used the Michell Tecno Weight which I feel is superior to the Expressino.
This TT needs to be setup up and fine tuned to reach its total potential and should last you many years. I only sold it to play and rebuild an older TNT3. Hope this helps.
