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.
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.
