Michell Technoarm vs Origin Live Silver vs ???


I'm looking at a new tonearm to replace my old Audioquest PT6. The Michell Technoarm and Origin Live arms are always mentioned together, and seem similar in that they improve on the old Rega RB250 design.

So, any comparisons of the two?

Any comments on each of their improvements (sonically and technically)?

Any suggestions for a different arm upgrade at about the $1000 or so level?

Thanks,
Bob

PS: I have a custom made non-suspended turntable using VPI parts (motor and MK III platter and bearing) and a solid 1" Corian plinth.

I recently imported a TecnoArm from Stone Audio in the UK (saved me around $300 over the best price I could find domestic...) and am astounded at the fit, finish, and performance of this arm.

It blows away the Rega RB 250, 300, 600, and 700's that I've run in prior years. I've got it mounted up on a Michell deck and it's BY FAR the most engaging arm I've ever run - simply amazing...
