That, and the aforementioned changes to cart & arm. I have the 1500C and really enjoy it, so I'm planning on adding the 100C as a second table for my at-home DJ rig. I know it's not a full-featured DJ .......

It's a modded Rega RB250 with an odd counterweight, but I can't find out which company modded this. I heard back from Audio Origami, and they confirmed that it isn't one of their mods. It looks like i .......

It turns out to be an Audio Origami-modded Rega RB250 arm, with a different counterweight (that I can't find any info on). Maybe not too much of an upgrade from the OEM RB300 arm on my SOTA Comet, but .......
