Narrod is correct, however, there are things you can do to make the arm MUCH better than stock. It really benefits from the dropped counterweight style, Incognito rewires, and VTA adjustment mechanism. With all of that done, you have a world class arm at a meager price. The improvements are not subtle - the dropped counterweight does the most help.
Help Rega RB300 owners
Need help/advise on adjusting the height of the tonearm cueing platform on a RB300. Need to increase the height of the platform so that it makes contact with the tonearm. This was not a problem till I changed the cartridge on the RB300 from a Sumiko Bluepoint2 to a Lyra Helikon. The tracking force on the Bluepoint2 was 2gm as compared to 1.6gm on the Helikon.To make matters more complicated, I have added the Michell VTA adjuster recently. The TT is a Michell Gyro SE.
At present I have to manually lower the tonearm/stylus on to the lp. Given that the bulk of my listening is done under the influence of alcohol, this is a potentially hazardous situation. The RB300 was supplied with the Gyro SE and the manual says the dealer can adjust the the cueing platform. This does't help coz the Michell dealer knows even less than I do!!
