Worth upgrading tonearm cable?

The Rega 301 which lists for $495 is currently in Stereophile's Class A along with arms like the Linn Ekos SE which costs $4950. The next cheapest arm after the Rega is the VPI at $2400. The Linn Ittok , which I had at the same time as the Rega is as good but different. I think you will pay about $900 used for one. I have been an audio dealer most of my adult life( never for Rega) and the local dealer sounds like an idiot. You can tell him I said so. The Rega I previously recommended came with VTA adjustment. VTA adjusters for the Rega are available from many sources, including VPI, theirs is $150. What makes you sure that another Linn arm would fit in the same hole. If you don't care about appearances drill another hole in the same board.

Thanks for the advice. There's a guy on eBay selling predrilled arm boards for SOTA tables. I might go that route.

I think you should save your money and when you have enough for a new good arm/cartridge update, then pull the trigger.
