Rega RB250 Tonearm Upgrade Options/Opinions

@butzchan - I upgraded from an RB250 to the Autiomods Classic II with the micro VTA and one piece silver litz cable with the beadblast finish and the results were amazing!

Get the KLE Innovations Absolute Harmony RCA’s installed - well worth the money (see below)

Jeff, at audiomods, is extremely good at what he does and his product is first class and extyremely well designed and built. He may even "tailor" the arm specifically to your turntable, a service he applies to most turntable/arm combos.

I use it with a Denon DL103 with an O.C. Contact Line stylus on a Ruby cantilever modified by Soundsmith.

My current phono stage is a Simaudio Moon LP5.3RS

It’s the single best upgrade I have made to my TT...

I have heard the Series Five with a Van den Hul Frog cartridge (repaied by Soundsmith) and it sounded very similar.

The sound is very articulate, balanced, crystal clear with superb image.

Hope that helps - Steve

Don't know about your pivot to spindle distance, but if there's an Origin Live within budget you might want to check it out. Been real pleased with my Conqueror for many years now. Massively better than the Graham 2.0 it replaced. Whole other realm, and its not like the Graham was ever a slacker.

Thank you everyone for the supplied information! I have been doing a lot of reading!

Anyone have any experience with the Moth OEM2000?

@butzchan, you don't mention a budget, but Jeff at Audiomods has a new model he recently announced. It is the same in most regards as his previous models (excellent arms), but incorporates his own carbon fiber wand in place of the Rega tube (the only part of his arms not of his own design and manufacture). All his arms are under a grand, and are great values. Details available on the Audiomods website.

@bdp24 , My budget limit is $1600. I am liking Audiomods more and more!
