Tone arm vs Cartridge upgrades
Another question regarding upgrading the analogue section of my system.
In general is money better spent upgrading a cartridge vs tone arm?
Current tone arm is an Origin Live Silver and cartridge Soundsmith Zephyr Mk III on a Feikert Volare TT. Using Leben electronics and DeVore O93 speakers.
Price point around 2K to spend. ( Note there is a trade up program with Origin Live which would likely extend the actual price point on a tone arm).
Thanks, in advance for your insights.

I have previously owned the OL Silver mk2 arm. It is a nice arm that can handle many cartridges, but I moved to the dual pivot design OL Encounter and it was a noticeable improvement as @viridian suggested. I could have stayed with that tonearm and mounted many levels of cartridges. During that time I mounted the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze and then Black cartridge with excellent results. |
