Jelco SA-750E 10" tonearm destroys Rega RB300 tonearm

No, tried to order the new armboard but they only ship to UK and Australia. We are going to machine an acrylic one, but I was too impatient to wait. So that's for the next round of ugraditis.

Nice! But however did the tech get the cart to align properly with that longer arm? It's longer than the RB300, and much longer than the stock arm, no?

In any case, it sounds like it's working fine for you, which is great. Enjoy!

Nice result but rather unsurprising to some of us - Regas and their derivatives have their place but the Jelco with the right cartridge (and the Ortofon and 103 fit the bill) should be head and shoulders better.

Clickbait heading was amusing though

Yes, it's very long, barely fit on Systemdek. Looks perhaps a bit grotesque on there, but sound quality matters more to me than visual aesthetics. Plus, due to its superior tracking, the sibilance issues are all but gone and the surface noise is dramatically reduced. Two extra bonus points for this arm!
