I don't think a Rega arm will work on that turntable without surgery. Different mount and different pivot-to-spindle distance and effective length. If there is a problem with your current arm, then just get a replacement Project arm. If you want a better arm, you will need to start with a better turntable. |
Why ? Another tonearm on this turntable ? What are you trying to do ? Upgrade the arm ? You’d better buy another turntable. |
I'm afraid I agree with the above. A true upgrade tone arm, and there are several, would cost more than your PROJECT. Sell the PROJECT, and consider a FUNK FIRM TT package. For a little upgrade in money, and some consideration given to possibly a better pickup, you will be punching way way above the caliber of what you currently have, without the nuisance of doing extensive TT mods which seldom workout unless you have exceptional skills and experience in this field. One of the Funk Firm arms has won numerous audio awards, the world over. The model LSD2 (fully loaded) is what you should consider. It may not appear "ULTRA HIGH END, it just plays Ultra High End (with the right cartridge) |
There is nothing wrong with the tonearm to begin with. Pro-ject makes a pretty good arm. They are used on other makes of turntables as well....music hall, and even on the entry level Linn majik, although that arm is of the 9cc or evo variety. The funk firm is a sideways move, it is no better than what you have. If you want a real move up, then go to a pro-ject xtension 9 or 10...or a music hall 9.3 or 11.3.....or a Linn, or even a vertere dg-1. |
