No chance classic way to expensive. This is the corner im in Money. The reason its a Rega. Upgrades gradually is fine but cashing out in one go nop. I spent anything like that on an arm she would go ape shit. Arguments are always about Hi-Fi & its all my fault for wasting so much in the past, shes in her rights to get pissed off cos i promised i wouldnt do it again. Bit at a time on upgrades is fine cos it doesnt look like big money.
Spending on Records is not a problem, but Hi-Fi always is the argument starter.
If i put foresight into play this REGA deck will never happen. I know ive been here so many times with brainwaves that grind to a halt because of a combination of money & lack of interest , that latter caused by money. One week, nothing comes up its gone.

The magic sound that is going to content you - where's it going to come from? You say both vinyl & CD are shite, which presumably leaves just files. Twice that I've read of, here and TAS, you've set out intending for a file based system, which later morphed into vinyl. Buy the deck and keep the arm. You'll also get his through thrown in: ebay.co.uk/itm/313629085684

The amount of swapping out you are doing and buying old stuff for parts you would likely save money buying that OL arm. Specs looks a bargain plus it's got VTA adjustment. Just don't tell the Mrs how much it cost. About cheapest decent arm out there now. If you buy a used Rega and rewire it's going to be near a couple hundred min. Not much more than that likely junker Avalon Mrkipling is pointing out.

You'll also get his through thrown in: ebay.co.uk/itm/313629085684The sound from File based systems is something i like but i cannot use them. I just can't. Im too stuck in my ways which is records. Its not just the sounds its the Vinyl thing . Same with CD really. CD does sound better than Vinyl but again i cannot abide CD. Flogging a dead horse but i continue on the vinyl route. Yep i need a shrink. Like the ownership of a Record & all that comes with it is no different than putting my own mark on Turntables that standard issue dont have cos you know that there is always something about any turntable that you can never be 100% happy with. I fully understand that im not going to get the best sound from record without forking out quite a sum of money but i also believe you cannot polish a turd where vinyl is concerned. It is what it is Limited. But the attraction over rides the Sound Quality to a certain extent, thats why i still soldier on. Thanks for the link even though i already seen it but im not paying large amounts money when i can get an arm on its own for half that amount. Like i said the upgrades are cheap & gradually dont look too much & not telling her would be even worse than spending loads on Hi-Fi, its called going behind her back & breaking a promise. I dont do that. Like i say one week & the deck will be gone once again. So many mistakes in the past have obviously caused too much damage.

I hate to see third party bodgers downgrading a product to make it 'theirs.' The Edwards arm westie has used, if it fits, would be a far better approach I suspect. Thing is, a Rega arm will be easy to shift when the mood changes..

Mines the one up form that one. Decent arm but not as good as the Artemiz was, I reckon. Some find the Artemiz too bright and forward though. I don’t find this OL anywhere near as forward. I wish it was,

Good arm. In absence of SME would go for that now or the Audiomods latest arm. Expensive but not breaking the bank like many arm ranges today which start at over £2K and go up to over £30K.
