Is it worth fixing my clear audio concept


Hi guys I was wondering if it is worth fixing my concept. I accidentally ripped out the ground wire fork and also ripped out one of my tone arm wires that plug into the cart. I know.nothing about fixing this stuff or how expensive it might be.  Is it worth fixing?  If not does it have any value?  Bottom line is if it’s not worth the effort I am going to get a rega rp8.  Thanks for what ever information you can give me.      Charles

If there is a way for me to put pictures of the problems on this forum, I would.  I just don’t know how to do it.  But that would give everyone a better understanding of what I’m dealing with.
Sounds repairable the way you describe it. A tonearm re-wire can be done economically. You might even want to upgrade the cartridge at the same time.

+1 Millercarbon.

The Concept series tonearms are almost certainly worth repairing unless extensively damaged.
The Verify arm retails for $1500 and the Satisfy tonearms list for $2000-$4000.  

These arms feature continuous strands of wire from cartridge through to the terminus of RCA plugs. 
Unless you're handy with repairs as MC mentions, you can order a kit or there are several rewiring services around.
 Start with your dealer, or contact a site similar to: britaudio.com. Guessing somewhere south of $350.  

BTW, Just my opinion, but the Rega RP8 very well might not be an upgrade for you, once this gets set up properly.

Good luck.
have it fixed. you can post pictures in the virtual systems section of this website.
ask Clearaudio for a recommended repair center.
