RB300 Arm and Koetsu Cart-good match? - Page 2

No problem Jeff- it's just a question of perspective really. For those of us without the engineering equipment and chops to totally remake an arm like you have, the Rega is an excellent piece of kit off the shelf, for what it costs, and amenable to commercially available DIY improvements as well.
Fascinating stuff on your site, and I expect your version does sound better than a standard Rega! OTOH, if you were to offer the redo commercially and had to make a profit on the job, it'd probably cost more than an SME V!
VERY nice work.

Hi again j7

Fantastic.Chalk and cheese really.Better dynamics,detail and soundstage.I am very happy,I am still waiting for my parts I need for my AR table, and when they arrive this arm will be swapped to it, and I will upgrade my tonearm for the Luxman down the track.So I can thoroughly recommend audioorigami modded tonearms to all.
