Next upgrade?
My suggestion would be another tonearm. Some time ago I replaced TP250 on my turntable with Kuzma Sogi Ref and the result was considerable sound improvement. I know that RB300 is better than TP250, but inspite of that... 
TT Arm compatibility.
"How do I know what arm I have now?"Simply, if the inscription/label on the arm is Ariston, then it is an original arm (see http://www.vinylengine.com/phpBB2/album_showpage.php?pic_id=2553). If the inscription is something else, use Google. If the... 
TT Arm compatibility.
I think that most of the 9” arms would fit. Accordingly to the mounting plate there will be no problem with fitting up.http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/view_images.php?cat=Analog&catnick=analog&cfid=149145&image_id=1242386http://www.soun...

Stereo Separation - Turntable

Benz Micro LP S vs Air Tight PC-1 w/ files
I have been intrigued with your comparison because I am seriously considering to upgrade my phono system with Benz Micro LP S. To listen to your records on my system I had to convert aiffs into wavs and burn them on CDR. I listened to your records... 
Linn LP12 vs Thoren TD350
I think it would not be an upgrade. It might be TD550. I had moved from Rega P3 to TD350 (with TP 250 tonearm and Benz ACE H) but I was not satisfied. When I changed TP 250 with Kuzma's Stogi ref, the sound improved appreciably. Now I have in mind...

Two part question about modern and good looking
There could not be fundamental changes because the turntable's working principle remains unchanged - the equably spinning platter, cartridge bearing tonearm, cartridge with cantilever and needle (which converts mechanical vibrations into electrica...
