Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live


I have a Nottingham Horizon SE T/T with Rega RB250 arm and clearaudio M/M Aurum Beta S cartridge. It sounds good - actually VERY GOOD! I am wondering however if an upgrade of the arm to either an Origin Live OL1 Mark II or Incognito RB250SE would result in an audible improvement in the sound - not merely a subjective improvement. Would appreciate your suggestions and comments. Thanks in advance.

I have a Tecnodec, RB 250 with Michell Tecnoweight, and Clearaudio Aurum Beta S wood-body cartridge. I have often wondered what to do re: rewire. I was leaning toward the Incognito rewire, but I just read the above statements, and they gave me pause. I would like to know if anyone can verify Nzera's comments re: "mixed bag"?

The mods to the weight of the Rega arms involved some serious torque- the Michell doesn't seem to replicate this.
Is this Michell weight (it came with my arm) really better or even on par with some of the other weights?

Who makes THE rewire option?

Should I buy some silver wire and some rcas and just roll my own?

I am amazed that noone (can't find a really scientific comparison anywhere) has compared "X" iteration of the Rega arm with DIscovery, Incognoto, Origin live rewires...

If only I had a little more $$, and a lot more time...

ANyone know of a good silver kit?

thanks in advance for any knowledge.
Twl, I'm familiar with your tweak, but for some reason, I just haven't gotten around to it. I will give it a try, however, as it appears to result in no damage to the arm, and to be 100% reversible if need be present.
I know, I've read most of the posts (that's a TON)
and I have no excuse...
I've been baaad.
