ENCOUNTER MK3C
Our most affordable dual-pivot design

"A
new benchmark for musical communication, natural detail and timbral
truth. All at a price that, considering the quality of its performance,
can only be called a bargain.” Stereo Times  full review "Sounds
like nothing that I have heard or owned before. The tonal quality is
accurate and clear, bass notes have no overhang. The arm is
astonishingly transparent and neutral.” Derek Abrahams  full review “It
says volumes for the excellence of this arm that it could put two such
different pickups through their paces so even-handedly." The Absolute Sound, Editors Choice Award 2012

Performance

Encounter
builds on the outstanding performance of the Zephyr by improving the
design and quality of many critical components. This is not just a
development, but a complete redesign.

The entire yoke and base are
different from the fully gimballed tonearms below it in the range.
These structures contain the horizontal and vertical bearings and so
play a large part in determining the sound.

The result is
appreciably tighter, deeper and more authoritative bass allied to
increased focus, stability and resolution across all frequencies. Tonal
balance is more neutral and the soundstaging more realistic, bringing a
wonderfully tactile and ‘live’ feel to the music, with a superlative
sense of air and space.

To understand how much a high end tonearm can improve the sound of your system, see  “Why Tonearms really matter”.
