>>The RB30 arm is phenomenal<<
Well, if in fact you meant the RB300, you're quite incorrect.
The RB300 is a solid, serviceable, and reasonably high value tonearm but hardly phenomenal.
Come on, man...the guy is asking about a starter turntable. Is the RB300 or RB301 "phenomenal" compared to, say, an SME or Linn or Graham that costs more than six times his budget for arm AND table? Of course not. But name another arm at or near the RB300/301's price that performs as well. The Graham Robin comes close...at a few hundreds dollars more.
Get real. Let's not scare the guy away from analog by imposing our notions of good on him. Within his budget, he'll do just fine with any Rega arm-equipped table.
