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.

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!
