Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it?

Hello All,
I just picked up a Rega RB 300 for my AR ES-1 turntable. It is a real improvement over the stock AR/Jelco that was originally fitted; with dead silent backgrounds and most important to me, abolutely no grounding hum issues.
I am afraid of rewiring it for that reason-am I justified in being chicken?
Also, what is the ranking of the aftermarket
counterweights for this Arm? So many choices!

If it sounds good to you right now, why mess with it?

Every time I modified my Rega arm, the sound got better....if the cost justifies the move, is up to you

I think so. The better choice for the counterweight would be the Michell Techno weight it comes with 2 weights for a variety of cartridges.
The Incognito re-wire is worth it too.
Listen to it as is for now upgrade as soon as funds become available. Do it over time is my advice.
