Any arm/cartridge ideas?

I've recently started playing my Systemdek IIX again, but I'm pretty sure the stock Profile II arm and the Linn Basik cartridge I have are hindering it, even though it's in a distinctly mid-fi system.

I've received dealer advice to upgrade to a RB300 arm and a Goldring cartridge(either a 1012 or 1022).

Given that I don't want to spend more than $500 to upgrade it, does anyone have any input? Thanks!

I dumped my rega 3/rb300 like a hot potato after hearing the systemdek w/stock arm. I also have a Sumiko arm which seemed slightly darker than the Profile. But I'd just upgrade the cartidge- hard to beat the systemdek/profile combo. Lots of other upgrades on theinternet for the systemdek. I've tried a few. Some worked for me some didn't.
Only way to upgrade from the systemdek is to spend some HUGE bucks. Have fun and good luck
