Beautiful tonearm that is only being replaced by moving up the Origin Live line. The Encounter Mk3c has a dual pivot vertical bearing, carbon fiber arm, and VTA adjustment. I am the second owner and it has been on my OL turn table for 5 years. Comes with original wooden box, all original manuals, and the integrated rca cables. I have used this arm with excellent results with a Benz Ebony H (also for sale), Denon 103D, MusicMaker III, and my present Ortofon Cadenza Bronze.
Cost new is $1850.00
Forum Price: $875.00 including insured FedEx shipping in continental US.

    I have the Conquerer on my TriangleArt table... Origin makes some great arms. This is a steal. Had it been for sale when I bought my arm, I would have grabbed this instead and had a grand in my pocket.

    What arm are you getting?
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    Opportunity for a good deal on an Origin Live Illustrious Mk3c fell in my lap this morning so I bought it. I love the OL arms. I think you table deserved the Conquerer. B)

    The wire is the origin live cable that was from the factory. It is hard wired from the cartridge clips to the RCA plugs.
