IMHO not worth changing the arm on 100/1500 models
Plenty of options on 1200gr / 1200g
Changing to rega arms you will not be able to adjust
Azimuth/Zenith/VTA or change / swap cartridges
Use a SL1200G in a custom plinth with 3 Arms
.
Use several cartridges with NUDE Spherical styli
Denon , Shure , Ortofon , Grado , Jico , Decca & my dream cartridge ( The Tzar DST ) Spherical tracking @ 6grams would buy one in a heartbeat if i had $10,000
AAA if you remember Spars codes
Excludes 99.99 % of music produced from the early eighties when all studios converted to Digital
Faster , Lower cost , easy to maintain
Analogue is slow , expensive , requires decades of skill , constant repairs
Much easier to record to a SS drive in a Laptop...
Makes a Rega Elex look like a real sea monster
Rotel sell in volume globally & will out sell rega 100.1 or more
Has all the modern bells & whistles . Reg could not spell Apps !
roon / wireless / usb / hdmi arc coming to a rega near you in 2035
Women would buy it on looks
The 1st watt is all the matters , if this sounds bad they all will
never mind if output is 25 or 25,000watts
