Greetings! Here's a nice offering for the vinyl world:
Rega RB-300 with a complete
Incognito Rewire and an
Origin Live Structural Modification.
Most people spinning vinyl know that the Rega RB-250s & RB-300s tonearms are the tried and true, trusty, work-horses of the turntable world. They are kind of like the ol' Chevy Impalas of audio... they give great service, provide an excellent bang for the buck, overall they sound great, are dependable and comfortable, very popular with the entry level hi-fi system, and they keep on delivering the goods with few issues. Such is the RB-300.
Those that follow the legacy of these tonearms also know about the great lengths that many folks, especially British companies, have gone to tweak, change, modify and upgrade them. Such is the story with this particular RB-300 copy, and this tonearm has been brought up to a whole other level of SQ from the stock RB-300
The
Incognito Rewire Kit (DIY) current sells for $219... more if you send off your tonearm or buy it complete. It consists of a complete
Cardas rewire throughout from clips to plugs. The
Origin Live Structural Modification stabilizes the rear of the tonearm tube with a special plug and adds the value of a replaced, heavy counterweight. The current value is approximately 81 British Pounds or $128 USD.
This Rega RB-300 has over $330 in solidly well-proven upgrades NOT even including the value/price of the tonearm itself. I would like to sell this tonearm for
$535 including shipping, handling and PayPal fees. That's $535 TOTAL to your door. This would be a much improved upgrade and welcomed addition to any turntable using a Rega based arm.
The tonearm will be packed extremely well and shipped with the counter weight disassembled. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Pictures tell all. I am an active and trusted AudioCircle, Audiogon and eBay member.
*** Please read carefully***There is one issue with this tonearm. Recently, the cueing mechanism started to fail. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. Sometimes, it slowly falls from the up position, and other times it works as it should. It has a mind of its own. I don't know what it will do for you after I have taken off of the turntable, and you have remounted it. I did a little research, and the domestic importer suggested to simply clean out the mechanism and piston chamber and to relubricate the tiny shaft. This would be a DYI fix. Otherwise, if need be, the entire cueing mechanism can be easily and inexpensively ordered and snapped into place.
The ONLY sign of wear on the entire tonearm is on the top of the head shell where the small screws are inserted in order to mount a cartridge.
