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!

LOL! Chayro, there is so much written about mods for Rega tonearms that it almost seems as if this is an absolute requirement for these arms; hence my initial inquiry about doing this.
I dissagree about waiting a year to get grip of the sonic signature of a component or a system-If one has a known baseline to start with, 2 or 3 months should suffice for the experienced audiophile.
Bravo Chayro ! If you make the motion, I'll second it !
Then, .... all in favor, raise your hands.
I don't think you'll get many votes around here. People are posting on what's the best aftermarket stuff for things that haven't even been delivered yet. It's a total sickness, but we already know that.
The Kerry Audio F-2 heavyweight counterweight is cheap and attaches in only seconds.
You will need another few minutes to play a few sections from well memorized records to feel confident you have greatly enhanced the listening experience. Actually its more like ten seconds into the first selection you play.
I added this to my RB-300 quite a few years back and the resulting arm has impressed listeners ever since.
I have been down that path. All the upgrades help, a little, but are not worth the cost, and they are virtually a complete loss when you resell it. If you really "must" upgrade a rega arm on your current table, better to get the best Origin Live arm you can afford. Or better yet, save up and upgrade to a new higher model Rega table.
