The only reason that I keep saying IMHO Nandric is you took me to task for not saying that my beliefs were opinions:
"Viridian, You should add 'according to my opinion'."
when that is exacly what I said in my post:
"The Rega 300 is a completely inappropriate arm both sonically and mechanically for the 150/160 Thorens series and Linn LP12, IMHO."
Why don't you actually try reading the threads before posting your insightful comments? It would make far more sense.
I don't have any problems with your contradictory opinions. I have a problem with your lack of understanding what you are reading.
For what it's worth my opinions are not theoretical, they are based on actually owning, or having owned, many of the products discussed, Including two TD160s, a TD160 MKll, two TD150s, a TD150 MKll, TD125 MKll, TD126 and most of the arms mentioned, but I certainly understand that this is not the majority opinion, as if majorities are what matters.
Other opinions are just as valid; that's why they are opinions and I am always interested in hearing with those whose experience is different. I think that helps those who seek guidance from the forums.
I can't speak to your modifications of the product, though I have no doubt that you enjoy them. I could certainly tape a few pennies to the headshell of my RB600 and say that it now has greater effective mass than it used to. But, as you say, "who cares"?
