Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?


Is this an upgrade or a lateral move??

I'm using a Teres 340 and really stretched to get the TT itself. Therefore I had to use a lesser arm due to budget constraints.
However, I have made some upgrades to the power system and am finding that mu cdp has benefited more from it than my TT

Dont get me wrong. The TT sounds very nice. But my cdp is now rivaling it in many respects. This makes me question my vinyl setup and its weak link. FWIW, I haven't checked setup parameters ie vta yet. Nor have I played with loading.
This is mostly due to all the recent upgrades and tweaks and trying to evaluate them. Nonetheless, my system sounds better than ever. But I am curious about the Graham 2,2 arm.

The 2.2 is a better tonearm than the Origin Live. At its' present pre-owned price a bargain IMO. For the money, an inexpensive way to upgrade your front end. If by chance it doesn't work out, you'll lose nothing except some time.

I have no financial interest in either line.
