Has anyone here any experience/thoughts on counterweight upgrades for the RB330 - is the Origin Live arm mod likely to be worth a look?
And how about subplatters? Going the Groovetracer route seems a bit pricey, any thoughts on the one Fidelity (Ben Lamb) does?
Thanks!
add up all the possible upgrades and compare that against a turntable you may prefer. I had a Garrard 401 and built a lenco ptp, ok I enjoyed the build but to get a lenco to sound as good as a 401 it cost more than my 401. Besides that the 401 speed is adjustable as it warms up and the lenco isn't so I had to switch it on an hour before I could use it. Ok not the same situation as yours but you get the idea. It's easy to throw money at something and not know what the result will be.
