Conqueror 3c with a Shilabe, Skala or XV-1S?

Hi there,

I can recommend this arm wholeheartedly...and I mean from the heart.

It is beautifully made and produces incredible results with several different cartridges (accross a range of manufacturers)I have tried, ranging from $500 to $5000... and what a real step up from the Illustrious... and indeed, from other tonearms!

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions,

The new Conqueror MK3c retails about 4239 USD$ (2650,00 £GBP) form Origin Live direct, with so much money I go to buy the Graham Phatom MKII without to think one second!

IMHO

I'm looking for someone that has heard these carts on this tonearm. Leaning toward the Shilabe.

I currently have a Shilabe paired with an OL Illustrious MK3. Our tonal preferences may be similar. Years ago, I started with a Dynavector 10x5, then moved to a Shelter 501. A few years later I was choosing between the XV-1S and the Zyx Airy 3S (I chose the Airy 3 but it could have gone either way).

About two years ago I jumped to the Shilabe and I haven't looked back.
It's positively liquid - from top to bottom. I'm actually upgrading to the new Conqueror MK3C this week because of the synergy with the OL arm. The Shilabe is an amazing cart and I'm expecting great things from the new Conqueror.

Best regards,
