XAD XTC UPGRADE COUNTERWEIGHT FOR REGA, NAD, GOLDRING AND OTHER CLONE TONEARMS.

New collar with two locking screws, which, along with the collar base, provides 3 point contact.
Equivalent to the standard Rega RB300-303 counterweight.

RB250, 251, RB101 must be fitted with stainless steel stubs.

PRICES in GBP INC. Tracked P&P. Be aware you are liable for import duty and local VAT or other taxes.

Europe Tracked 79.00

You can now continue to use this XTC on the following tonearms:

Ø13mm stubs - Rega RB101, RB303, 600, 700 etc. Needle Doctor stub.
Aftermarket stubs for the RB250, 251 and other RB arms.


The listing is for the counterweight assembly, the arm in the photo is for illustration only.

Also available are 122gm, 133gm and variable mass versions.

The design of XTC puts its lowered Centre of Gravity closer to the plane of the stylus than other "dropped" counterweights can manage.
The rotational forces have less vector variation which improves tracking.
XTC is available for a number of arms, and has consistently had positive effects.



Cartridges inc. screws* 
Rega RB300:  5.5gm to 10gm.
RB250 stainless steel stub: 7 to 11.5gm (1.5gm tracking).
*Typically 1.4gm for stainless steel, assuming 35gm Rega stub.



FEEDBACK:

Thank you , arrived very promptly and very well packaged. Fitted onto my P6 tonearm stub with no trouble and very easily. Has certainly enhanced and tightened the bass and am noticing better more defined stereo imaging. And it looks great. Very happy. Thank you.

I have the Telarc Digital Tchaikovsky 1812 on vinyl and I have played this album on the Pro-ject, the higher-end entry Level Planar 6 and much higher-end turntables in a showroom and they all could not play the cannon tracks. The tonearms violently wobbled and skipped.

My main reason for getting this (122gm) counterweight was because I don’t have to replace the stub on the tonearm and that it will balance my 10 gram Grado Statement Sonata 2. I didn’t expect anything else, but I was surprised that with this new setup I was able to play the 1812 overture without any problems described!

John, UK

Good product, great seller. Couldn't be more helpful. 10/10 (Light for F.XR)
Message: I've left feedback. I'm really pleased with the weight by the way. I've been getting a tiny bit of distortion
towards the middle of discs, which, having eliminated everything else, I think can only be down to tracking error.
It seems better now, so I'm very happy. Looks great too!

Remember where you saw this counterweight first.
I endeavour to produce innovative products, not me-too ones.
This design is protected by Design Registration and made right here in Kent, England.

The counterweight itself is lacquered brass, with an aluminium collar and stainless steel set screw. 
See my other listing for a heavier version for cartridges weighing more than 8gm.

My brother Tim recently bought your counterweight for his new Funk FXR11 tonearm to which I had the pleasure of an
evening with hooked up to my modified Rega 300 bolted to a hot rodded Audionote TT2. Suffice to say my
tracking (Which was already very good) improved greatly sounding like my tonearm had suddenly grown 3 inches! Wow!
I won't bore you superlatives, suffice to say it is the most cost effective upgrade I've ever heard. Reluctantly I returned
it to my brother and vowed to have one ASAP!
Message from Jason, UK

Beautifully made and engineered product from a great E-Bay seller. Recommend. (Hadcock GH220)
Christopher, UK

Tried out the counterweight last night. Amazing improvement over the stock CW in every way. Most noticeably, as they say
so often, a veil is lifted. Everything is less tentative. Bass coming through more solid, percussions  have the final "ring" of
the real things, more depth and soundstage anchored more accurately. These are all preliminary impressions after a few hours
of listening. I have no hesitation recommending your CW to Hadcock owners if these prelim impressions hold up & I think
they will.
