Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live

Yes, either one of them will be an audible upgrade over the stock RB250 arm. These have been tried by many over the long haul, and found to be worthwhile.They are about as high as most would want to spend on a tonearm upgrade for a TT of the Horizon's level. A good sonic match for your table at a decent price.

I had the same Horizon/Clearaudio Aurum Beta S combination. I found upgrading the counterweight to the Expressimo was worthwhile. Switching to incognito was more of a mixed bag- it brought out a bit more detail, but was a lot edgier, analytical, and had more emphasis on surface noise. The incognito-wired arm was fine with other cartridges so I don't think it was entirely break-in. The stock Rega wire is smoother and more laid back- seemed to be a good match with the Clearaudio in my system.

Also note the the Michell counterweights do not work well with cartridges as heavy as the Clearaudio- I was not able to extend the heavier weight far enough for the Clearaudio to track at 2.1 G- not a problem with the expressimo.

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.
