I have a Teres 245 setup for Rega arm. Question re Origin Live arms


RB 300 arm is ancient with a diy rewire. Having ground hum problems. Decided to upgrade and looking at Origin Live selections. My question is in regard to the wire upgrade value. For instance, should I go with  Origin Live Silver or Zephyr with wire upgrade or Encounter with standard wire harness? Anyone with experience with these arms. I would like to keep in the $1500 range.

@bdp24 stole my thunder. I considered Origin Live when I was looking for an arm in that price range. I ended up with an Audiomods Series Five with the VTA tower and all-silver tip-to-tip wiring. It's pretty great in general and a steal at the price. Series 6 has a better anti-skate setup and armtube material. 

Sorry, heard a few OLs, but not enough to pick between those two options you mention. Just a guess, but if you get the better arm, you could theoretically upgrade the wiring later. Cheers,
