To modify or not to mod..... that is the question.

Inna ......WHAT!! no vinyl front end?.. i feel for ya.... let me tell you, you don't know what your missing. Iv got a grate idea, $450 will get you a lightly used rb-600. Add that to what ever table you want and you can listen to some of that vinyl now! instead of someday. That is! what this is all about ... music.... right!?

Twl..... Maybe i will try and sell the rb- 600 (to Inna?) and get a OL silver... Thanks!!

Inna ... if you can sell me a Nottingham Spacedeck or a Interspace with aDV-20x for the $900 the P25 cost me than i will be happy to take it off your hands!! ...... Until then, any “HELP” in improving the sound of the table that i have would be appreciated. No doubt a P25 is far from the final word in vinyl play back but at its price point its not bad. I bet there are people who could pick holes in the value of the Nottingham tables to, but i wont be so presumptuous!.
Twl.... I thought about just what you suggested ie: getting a Silver tone arm but have been a little unsure on just how much better the silver is than a modified rb-600 and the ability to sell the stock arm for $450 or so. The Denon DL103R sounds like a good bet but i would need a different stage than the Monolithic ps-1/hc-1 combo i have as it only has 53 db gain (any suggestions? maybe a step up transformer?) The problem here is budget. Seeing as this will need to be a $300 or so every 6 months or so im guessing the order goes something like ...arm, cart/stage, table someday. On the subject of mods, what is the difference between the OL end stub mount and the EX Lock down stub .. Why is one better than the other?...

Thanks......Bill

Here is a question for you ...... will OL silvers arm counter weight fit under the dust cover on a P-25. If i remember right i think i saw a picture of your table (twl) and your OL arm had a Heavy weight? or at least different than the standard counter weight ... did it improve the sound ??
