comparison between Ortofon TA-110 and Jelco 850? I have a chance to buy a used TA-110 for a little less than the Jelco, so I was wondering if you could shed some light on the differences you have noticed?

Hard to say precisely since I’ve been using a different cartridge on the Jelco. However, I find it to be a highly resolved tonearm with excellent build quality. Also it’s mounting base is larger and more robust giving the shaft better support and vertical alignment. At its price it’s an absolute no brainer.

I have the improved collar from Ammonite Audio for my 750 arm which I haven't installed yet. I'm glad Jelco addressed this issue with the new tonearms. I'm about to pull the trigger on the new 850 arm.

I also have the improved collar from Ammonite, together with a silver rewire, Ebony headshell and ebony armboard on TT1 I have found the Origin Live Conqueror on TT2 to be a major disappointment. Prefer the Jelco 750D to be honest. I have now sold the Origin Live and I will likely get a Jelco 850.
