RB300 Mod -OR- RB250 Mod, Which you feel is better


I have recently did a wire mod on my RB300. I then went further and purchased the Heavy Weight and removed the Spring from the VTF dial.

Some say the moded RB250 is better because the spring in the RB300 causes resonance problems. On the RB300 it is suggested to set the dial at 3 grams to disengage the spring. I went one further and removed it completely and I must say the arm seemed quite a bit more neutral, less coloured.

Being that I removed the spring and this was the only draw back to the RB300 compared to the RB250, does this mean I now have a modded RB250 with better bearings?

Basement, when you say the Rega P3 is attached on one side by the spring, what exactly do you mean? Does this mean that since I removed the spring my arm is attached only by one side?
