Rega RB3000


I have a Rega Planar 3 Turntable, and I have upgraded to the Apheta 2 Cartridge.  I am now considering upgrading the Tonearm to the RB3000.  Is this a complete waste of money due to limitations of the plinth or other aspects of my deck?   I don't really want to buy a whole new turntable right now.

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.

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.
