Jbcello - the transfi replaced a modified Rega 300 (incognito wiring, michell techno weight and VTA adjuster).
I am using the arm on a Michell Gyro SE. I have only tried the Clearaudio Virtuoso MM and the Soundsmith with the arm. Although the virtuso sounded very good i prefer the additional detail provided by the Soundsmith. I recently changed my phono preamp to the Simaudio LP5.3 which can accomodate MC cartridges. I would like to try a Dynavector XX-1 or Ortofon Kontpunkt B. It is a very expensive proposition to experiment with new cartridges and a very risky proposition to buy used so I am trying to figure out what to do next. I have only been back into vinyl for two years so I am no expert but here is my opinion - The Transfi leaves the RB 300 in dust. I think for its price it can compete very successfully with much more expensive pivot arms. The transfi does take some getting used to and fiddling and expermintation to get the most out of it but I find that to be enjoyable. I rarely listen to CD any more.
