In Reply to: Rega upgrades posted by Joe in Seattle on September 15, 2006 at 17:48:48:
I have been unwilling to upgrade because why spend money when you can just buy a better turntable. Although, the tonearm wire upgrade seems to be the only justfiable modification price-wise. I am curious which is the best bang for the buck.Here is where I have come so far, and I would not turn back on any of these suggestions:
1. A good cartridge -- $600 retail seems good to me. I would think about this before sinking money into other mods.
2. A good base -- I use a, I forgot already, but anything is good. A maple butcher block is surperb actually, which I don't use, but should.
3. A record clamp. Certainly. I would never go back on this one. I use a KAB.
4. A new mat. I just got one at a garage sale. I have been dissatified with the Rega mat for some time and finally found something I like -- it is made in Sweden, but no identification.
5. A good phono stage to go with the good cart.
