Origin Live

Play nicely, folks

I have no experience outside Linn and Rega arms.

[SteveTheShadow]

Analogue?
Glad I'm out of it.

[Daniel Quinn]

How condescending! I have first hand experience to back up what I post. How much experience do YOU have in these matters? Disagree with me by all means, but I don't need the patronising sarcasm thank you

well perhaps you should have posted your evidence instead of slagging of Mr baker on behalf of rega .

also ffs cut it out with the definitive statements . just because it is what you think does not make it a fact .

I asked someone who should know what he is talking about what arm he would recommend for an SL1200 and the answer was 'Audiomods'.

I think they are about a grand so more than I would personally want to hoike on a tonearm, but if I did that is what I would go for.

Send your Rega tonearms to Audio Origami. That's what I did with my RB300.

Indeed J7 is a top guy who will not rip you off.

Do I HAVE to substantiate EVERYTHING I say that you appear not to know anything about with lengthy documented evidence as 'proof?' You blindly accept what the Doc tells you it seems, but where decades of turntable arm and cartridge experience is concerned, you whack it to one side as if I'm an audio newbie/numpty with no knowledge or experience at all!

Right, Origin Live were one of the first Rega-tonearm rebuilders I believe and the products of theirs I've seen are NOT very well presented or finished. I'm not alone in this experience either as another dealer and a HFW reviewer confirmed to me on AOS a while ago. I do nothing on behalf of Rega, as their sales manager Paul Darwin, who I've worked with, would easily be able to speak for himself and the company that employs him. The OL products have been reviewed in HFW and although the products sound 'exciting' to the reviewers, this is because of the dire resonances the bodges build in (deliberately?).

More important than any points-scoring by DQ, the comments about other really good arms under a grand being out there has been confirmed and I gave an example or two. What other products would YOU recommend DQ?

I rest my case.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Gentlemen - both rest you case, I really don't want to adjudicate. Just keep the word *YOU* out of it and state opinion, information or facts.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Buy this and then shut up about tone arms as you wont need to talk about them again - from when they knew how to build tonearms for a sensible price.

This or a Neat G20 and forget about it. Especially Rega

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

BTW had a brief listen (Holst Planet Suite) to applemarcs big SME TT with a Graham arm and Koetsu cart. Didn't know the cart involved while listening or I would probably have displayed prejudice. Sounded very nice, not a bit dry as expected, lucid plenty of emotional content, sorry but just a fraction of note wobble. I can understand how this has become a LP12 upgrade.

Is the Origin Live Enterprise any good? Or is it a Captain's Log of a tonearm?
