Nice cartridge

Nice (That cartridge is so sweet I run it on my Well-Tempered Amadeus) , I have a buddy who has basically turned his 40th Anniversary RP3 into a RP6 by adding the better belt, Groove Tracer Platter/Sub Platter. So how many shims did you need to raise the RB arm up for the 740?

I didn't use any, replaced the felt mat with a slimmer one, that did the trick.

Does it make sense to refurbish an old Lenco L75 from sound quality point of view? Or simply buy something new?

Man that is a tough one to answer, some swear by the Lenco idler drive and how much your into a vintage table. Like all audio pros and cons either side of the issue.

Good idea. I did the same with my RP6 years ago. Sure sounds sweet. Added the GT counterweight and center weight as well.

Nice, love the 2M Black as well

@flibottf , I actually changed to the 26mm Acetal platter on my RP8 and had to shim up 1 to use my Hana on it

Here's my Rega RP6 coupled with an AT-VM740ML!

You could use a nice compact phonostage for it, ideally matte black to match the rest

Something tells me you may like the iFi Phono stage in black It does get good marksI've really been enjoying this two piece myself

I'm pretty content with the Fono MM mk3!

I would say yes, definitely restore that L75! Have a look at this here for inspiration:

Properly refurbished (incl. new plinth, better arm), it will get you close to Garrard territory!

I didn't want to say it out loud, so thanks

I would be too if I were you. But if you'll ever decide it's time to move elsewhere, we'll be around

Latest project: Thorens TD124. Works but the SME needs to be adjusted. Winter is coming

Winter is coming

The best time of the year for us audio nuts. Not sure if it's only me, but I enjoy vinyl in winter more
