Tonearm suggestions

Very excited for my Audiomods with the micrometer to arrive. Dover, good to hear your thoughts on it vs the 1000. I'd love to hear are more detailed comparison of the sound.

As far as other Rega issues here, be aware that the Rega built arms not labelled as Rega don't always use the same wiring that Rega uses. Sometimes that is very visible in the RCA connectors used. Not that there aren't tons of rewire kits out there.

The Audiomods has the excellent micrometer VTA options, but for other Rega arms without easy VTA adjustment there are good options such as Pete Riggle's VTAF.

Here's a link to a review of the newest Audiomods arm:

Thanks for the replies!

The audiomods looks great and the reviews are glowing as well. I also do like the fact that it comes with the micrometer. I wish I could audition one of each these so I could know for sure.

Does anyone have an opinion as to what price range I would be able to better the arms in this discussion? I want to settle into a good arm and be able to upgrade my cart without having doubt about my arm's capability.

The Audiomods is a modified Rega RB250, albeit with new bearings etc. The arms are quite different structurally.
I have actually heard both arms on a Rega P9, the RB1000 was more precise sounding, and to my golden ears cleaner and more articulate, provided the VTA was dialed in on both arms.
Agree with the Helius Omega, an interesting arm, and SME IV, they are both good options and to my ears superior to the Rega/Audiomods.

Based on the 6moons review I linked to above, it looks like the newer Audiomods arms are based on the RB300. Not sure what sort of difference that may make. I did like that the 6moons reviewer put the Audiomods in context with regards to what SME arms sounded superior to his ears. The other reviews have been raves that give less of an idea where the ceiling like with Audiomods arms.

And note that the arms that Dover compares Audiomods to are $1900 (RB1000) and $2850 (Omega).

Not trying to be a fanboy but want to put the recs above in context.
