I would second Sedond's endorsement of the O.L. modded RB-250. The site is www.originlive.com for info on all O.L. products. I believe the site that he did business with is www.stoneaudio.co.uk. I'd recommend pairing the arm with a Denon DL-103 with an elliptical stylus (if you can find one) or a DL-304 (if your phono stage can handle a very low-output coil (0.18mV). Best of Luck! -John
Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade
I'm getting ready to upgrade my arm and cartridge. I will be mounting to a VPI HW-19 Mk IV. I realize there are many combinations that work well together, but it is not easy to get dealers to loan these pieces out the way they loan amps, preamps etc. I'm hoping that some of you can give me some input including what your arm/cart. combo sounds like. Thanks, Doug
