Origin Live Encounter Breakthrough design

Description
This is a breakthrough design in high end tonearms. Usually higher prices come with improvements in performance but Mark Baker has managed to produce better performance at a lower price. In my experience the Encore is better than the SME IV.Vi and the Graham 2.0 both in the $ 3000.00 price range. See review at www.tonearm.co.uk. Free upgrade - Eccentric counterweight. This arm comes with a very good phono cable which saves the cost of a cable upgrade.


I would be upgrading from a AudioQuest PT-9b with a  Straight Wire Maestro II phono cable.  What are your thoughts?  How much would my current AudioQuest PT-9b arm gor for?

Thanks!
