Rega RB3000
I have already upgraded the sub platter with Groove Tracer's product as well as reference band to drive it.
I have the Parasound JC Jr phono preamp and my amp is PrimaLuna Evo 400.
Thank you for your comments. I have only been doing this a few years but love it.
@ronin35 For a similar price take a look at the Audiomods arm - they are so much better than anything Rega has to offer at the same price and will fit the Rega turntable perfectly. www.audiomods.co.uk I have never regretted getting mine - a superb piece of extremely high quality engineering. Mine has the one-piece harness and the micrometer VTA adjustment. Also request the Absolute harmony RCA's - they are a perfect match Here's my review of the ARM and the RCA's http://image99.net/blog/files/f233eea773cbc47d311b80d32702da48-40.html http://image99.net/blog/files/a8494e8645dea3d750d109f819103099-61.html If you have any questions just ask Regards - Steve |
I have had a RP6 TT for eight years. Recently I have been upgrading my system with new components, so I have to budget. I can't afford a $3000 to $6000 turntable so I've been upgrading the RP6 with a Groove Tracer sub, Rega Reference belt and an Achromat (wow!) I have been exploring upgrading the tone arm and /or cartridge. I happened upon a good deal for an RB3000 tonearm that I couldn't say "no" to. So I'm doing it! I have a Dynavector 10x5 mk2. I want to see how the tonearm changes the sound by using the 10x5 (at least until after April 15th!). I'm thinking of upgrading to the DV xx2. I don't have other audiophiles in my world that can even understand these words I'm using! So I would appreciate feedback, thoughts, suggestions, recommendations. Thanks! |
Seems like the Origin Live tonearms will fit with the Rega mounting plates. I’ve decided that sometime here in the near future, I’m going to replace my Thorens tonearm with the Onyx. I would opt for the Silver but with a dedicated mono cartridge, it probably won’t matter that much. Anyhow, the Onyx is about $600,00 and according to what I’ve been reading, out performs many arms twice it’s price. So I’m assuming that I’m correct in saying that an OL tonearm would be an easy install with any Rega table and they are offer a wide range. So matching the arm model with the plinth and cartridge quality would make OL a viable option. |
