Upgrading Technics 1200 Tonearm under $1000


My analogue setup:
  • AT9 cartridge
  • Herron vtph-2a stage
  • Bryston 4b3 amp
  • Bryston Model T Sig speakers
  • Moon Neo 350P pre
  • Technics 1200mkII

I upgraded the Technics with the obligatory fluid dampening technology - a must for anyone listening at higher volumes. Wires are upgraded to the cardas all purchased from KAB! I also stripped the tired silver paint and painted the plinth a pearl white. The tonearm is the only piece left to update! I'm struggling with the amount of choices out there that is easy to set up. I looked at the Rega RB330 as a possible candidate but I'm open to other suggestions.

New Technics MK7 is under $1000 and comes with a nice arm. Then buy some carts. 
@joyofsound - Audiomods - email jeff - he can make you a base for mounting his arms  on a 1200

They perform way above their modest price point
- Probably the last arm you will ever buy.

I have the older Series 3 classic with the micrometer VTA and the one piece harness with KLEI Harmony plugs - to my TT to a whole new level of performance - awesome

A friend had the Series 5 on his 1200 and he loved it

Thanks Willie. After reviewing Audiomods, I will be ordering the Series 6 for my TT. Appreciate the feedback!
