SME IV, 309,used vs Origin LiveEncounter MK3cTonearm or Illustrious for J.A. Michell ORBE


Have an Orbe SE. I had a SME V and sold it. I need a new tone arm. I did like the bass on the SME but not sure what to replace it with. Can anyone with arm knowledge of these or REGA please fill me in?

I have owned the OL Encounter and now a Illustrious mk3c.  Excellent arms with very balanced presentations.  In your application I would choose the Illustrious.
I like the SME and have owned one. I have an older OL - 1 Silver that is not as good as the SME. If you liked the SME before I would buy another SME.
