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?

Audiomods - there are two models available and you can decide on whether to include the Micormeter VTA or not

I have the Classic (series 3)with the bead-blast finish and the Micrometer VTA and the gold counterweight - looks stunning

Beautifully made and offers superb performance. Simple to install as well.

Takes about 6 weeks to arrive - it's basically a custom build.
- You send Jeff the details of your turntable and cartridge and he takes care of the rest.

If you cartridge is not a good match he will tell you, or tell you how it can be matched to the arm.

Probably the best single component I've ever purchased - i.e. from a satisfaction perspective.

Ask Jeff to install the KLE Innovations Absolute Harmony RCA's for the best performance.

Don't let the fact that he uses a Rega arm tube put you off - this arm is no Rega - it's what Rega SHOULD have provided from the get go :-)

I've used it with the stock Denon DL103, but have since upgraded to the Soundsmith DL103 - and that's another worthwhile upgrade

Never been happier :-))))

What cartridge are you using?

Several other members own audiomods and they all love them

The Audiomods is a very good option,especially for Rega TT's,
but there are many great arms to choose from.

Unfortunately, to get the very best out of an Audiomods arm
requires an alloy subplatter and an acrylic platter.

And - To top it off install the ceramic bearing!

I also built a more stable plinth and installed a motor
upgrade, so the only thing left of
my Rega? - the lid and the switch :-)))

Last arm I'll ever buy..
