Tone arm upgrade

I'm currently using a Rega RB300 modded tonearm ( aftermarket wiring harness and counterweight). I'd like to consider a step up, have been keeping my eye open for a good condition used Linn Itok arm. Is this the right path or in the $1~$2k price range is I there another good alternative?

I agree with Jakeman. The Ittok is a wonderful arm, but so is your modded RB300. It would be a lateral move at best.

If your system page is up to date and you are currently using a Dynavector 10X5, which is a fine cartridge, but you can definitely do better.

Your SOTA table would be a great platform for a used SME 309 arm, if you really want a new arm. I sold lots of that combo back in the day and it's a fantastic set up. I would still get a better cartridge for either arm.

"I ultimately went with a different arm, the identity of which I am not at liberty to divulge ".

Why? Is it from Outer Space? Did the Russian government threaten you? Geez.
