thorens or Rega

Get in touch of Doug Sedond about the 250.He knows about them better than most.

hi rwilli,

dunno if i know about 'em better than most, but i *do* know that i got a good deal on an origin-live modded rb250 from stoneaudio uk. i tink ewe can also buy 'em direct from origin-live. in the usa, i believe galen carol audio sells 'em. killer arm, really nice on my oracle 'table. origin-live sez it's their best arm - even better than their modified rb900. the 900 has better-quality bearings, but the more rigid bearing mounting of the 250 works better after the mods are done (according to o-l).

THe RB 250 seems to be getting better reviews then the RB 300, especially after having it modified, I'm still trying to find an RB 250 that has been modified? the dealer I'm working with says the RB 300 bearings are better and unfortunitly he is the only Hi Fi dealer in this area and I'm thinking he feels the RB 300 is worth the X-tra $100, I'm thinking finding an RB 250 and having the modes done will result in better sound? Reply with any thoughts you might have? Sorry this post sounds redundint,
Thanks,
Rick

rick, see my prior post for how to get an o-l modded arm. and, like the rb900, the rb300's bearings "are" better than those in the rb250, but the structural mounting of the 250 is completely different from the other rega arms. so, the mods improve the 250 more than the other arms. this is according to o-l - ask 'em about it....
