SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe


Does anyone have experience comparing the SME V tonearm on a Michell Orbe turntable with a Rega arm, either a stock Rega RB 900, RB 600, RB 300 or RB 250, or a modified Rega arm (e.g. Origin Live RB250)? I am interested in using either a Benz Micro Ruby 2 or Koetsu Urushi as the cartridge. If you can give advice regarding sound or set up capabilities, that would be most appreciated.

The Rega is no match for an SME. Rega tonearms are entry level. SME is the real thing. Just my.02.
Extremephono, you have just commited a sin! Blasphemy against an untouchable component in the high end audio circles...

The Rega arm is REFERENCE in reviews and, as such, epitomizes class, finesse and status.

Just my .02.
