RB300 tonearm cable upgrade?


I have a Rega Planar 3 with the factory supplied RB300 tonearm and microbenz silver MC cartridge. I have heard that the RB300 is a very decent tonearm given the price, but I am concerned that the cable which is supplied with the tonearm is poor quality and doesn't have a ground wire like most of the better quality arms I am familiar with. I have recently purchased an Aloia 13.01 amp which I will mate with my ARC SP-9 and B&W 802 Matrix 3 speakers. I use Kimber cable (biwired) and Tara Labs interconnects. Any opinions on the cable issue? Should I consider spending money to upgade the cable, change to a better tonearm, or look at trading the entire turntable for a better table such as the Rega 9.

I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks,

Howard

Unless the RB 300 is different than the RB 900 there is no DIN into which you can plug a better/new cable. The RB 900 is hardwired. I would agree with the first post. Lauerman is the place to start. Unless of course you have the upgrade bug. I hear the Rockport turntable is very nice and even at $75,000 some people considered it a good deal!
