i think the ittok or ecos are tighter sounding

and the OL arm is very heavy so might not be as easy to get the bounce right

Hi
Not personally but I have some information which may be of interest.
Another retailer in Hampshire requested me to source a secondhand Ekos arm for one of their customers.
He was very troubled by the musical performance of his LP12 ,which had an Origin Live Encounter fitted.
They quickly identified the problem when they heard his deck.The timing was noticably out and it was difficult to follow music,even compared to an LP12 with a much cheaper arm.
He realised his mistake and sold the Encounter on.He could not afford an Ekos SE and so is now a very happy owner of an Ekos MK 2 arm.
