"Makes you want to keep listening record after record. This is one of the truly special products I've reviewed, regardless of price."
- Michael Fremer, August, 2013



Origin has four tonearm options from $1350 to $3700 to compliment the Resolution.
Also available with dual armboard  


Awesomely Great, the Origin Live Resolution has Stunned us with how good it is and we think you can honestly compare it to most any table at $10,000.


Now in new MK3 version with improved platter, bearing, power supply and more!


Audio Revelation is a full line Origin Live dealer with four Origin turntables and six tonearms ready to play. Remember, we specialize in analog with twelve tables, fourteen arms, sixteen cartridges and twelve phono preamps up and running from $3,000 to over $30,000 (table, arm & cartridge)!


Testimonials (on all Origin Live turntables.  Many of the reviews are on older versions - new versions are substantially improved)


"Resolution" Reviews 


"Still Stellar Sound.... What remains unchanged [from the Mk1 version that MF reviewed 9 yrs ago] is the Resolution's attractive sonic balance, one that combines well-controlled reasonably well-extended and tuneful bass with realistic not "cardboardy" attack, generous sustain and very effective decay into black, well-textured and rich midrange and smooth and clean high frequency response with cleanbut not overly sharp transient performance.


Those are sonically desirable attributes not produced by some turntables costing far more. The Resolution Mk3 and Illustrious MK3c tonearm produces the kind of sonics that makes you want to keep listening record after record... I hope you get my drift: this is one of the truly special products I've reviewed over the past 18 (now 27) years, regardless of price."
- Michael Fremer, Analog Planet, August, 2013



"I am quite fascinated by the Origin Live Resolution turntable and Enterprise tonearm and they’ve garnered my 2013 Publisher's Choice ‘Most Wanted Component 2013’ award. Their combined strengths, ease of installation and remarkable sense of musicality have reinvigorated my appreciation for LPs. The new Origin Live is great news for any analog neophyte who may find the price of most good tables daunting. The quintessence of Origin Live products rests in simplicity of design and sophisticated performance."
 - Clement Perry, Stereotimes (read the review)

"The Origin Live (Resolution Mk2/Illustrious Mk3 C combo) wowed me more than I expected it to... What I heard was one of the best British turntables around. Don't let your vinyl miss out on this gem."

 - Alan Sircom, HiFi+ (read the review) 


"The new Resolution MK2 is one of the quietest turntables I have yet heard ....now comes part assembled and is much easier to set up than many suspended types. The Resolution MK2 and Encounter MK3 are superbly designed and built, and proved a pleasure to use.......The result then was breathtaking power and passion, without the need to turn up the volume particularly high... It was thumbs aloft then for the latest Origin Live Resolution MK2 and Encounter MK3 tonearm."
 - Hi-Fi World


Most companies would be thrilled to receive a review with just one of the amazing quotes below from Michael Fremer - Origin Live got three.  These reviews were of the original Mk1 version - the Mk2 is very much better.

"In fact, this arm-table combo is one of the finest performers I've heard at any price... I could make a case for preferring this $4465 spread to my $20,000+ rig... The Resolution Modern works brilliantly, is well-built, and its price is right. But regardless of price, this is one of the truly special products I've reviewed in the past 18 years."
- Michael Fremer, Stereophile 


"A beautifully crafted, superb sounding turntable that's a smoother, more beguiling alternative to the best of the rest. If a turntable like Origin Live's Resolution had come out twenty years ago, the whole hi-fi world would have gone bananas. Here's a brilliantly designed thoroughly modern way to play music."
- Hi-Fi World



                  


"Sovereign" Reviews


"With all forms of music it remains effortlessly composed, giving tremendous insight into the original recording's emotion. Detail levels stun, revealing subtleties we had never noticed even in some of our personal faves. The separation of instruments is fantastic too: the sound appears to be huge and beautifully spread through the vast soundstage, while bass is deep, tuneful and punchy... We can't recommend this Origin Live deck highly enough: it has the power to stop a herd of wildebeest with it's authority - yet it can also bring a grown man to his knees in tears."
- What Hi-Fi Magazine (read the review)


"The trio (Sovereign Conqueror Lyra Olympos) made me forget the walls of my listening room. Fed by well produced records you felt immediately transported into the recording location. In terms of speed, the combination not only gets from zero to one hundred in record time, but also gets back to standing in the same time. So much detail, so much speed, so much space and such a full presentation should be hard to get anywhere else at this price. For me ORIGIN LIVE in the analogue sector is the discovery of the year!"
- Dirk Sommer, Image Hi-Fi


An astounding table that always performs to the highest levels and in the most balanced, musical way possible. Even when compared against benchmark tables at double the price it's always beautifully compelling and fully competitive. What more can you ask? Note: I've had more than one customer who shopped here and heard all/most of my best tables and say that if they weren't going to buy the near $20,000 Brinkmann or Avid Reference the Sovereign would be their choice.
- Jay, Audio Revelation


"Calypso" Reviews


"Via the Calypso, music sounds crisp and focused, with bags of individualilty and presence. One got a clear idea of the various instruments occupying defined spaces, with a solid impression of ambience ... The Calypso sounded very cohesive and "together". Voices and instruments were separated and retained their individuality, but it always sounded like everyone was playing together ...  Surface noise is very low and the Calypso gives inky-black backgrounds ... Quite certainly, while listening to the Origin Live Calypso, I thought "it doesn't get much better than this". But that's a dangerous thing to say, given that the Calypso isn't even Origin Live's top model.
 - Jimmy Hughes, hi-fi+  


"This turntable gets the thumbs up it thoroughly deserves for the fine performance it provided"
 - Malcolm Steward, HI FI CHOICE


"Aurora" Reviews 


"The Origin Live Aurora MKII is a truly significant product. No other turntable near its price is even close to its sonic and music-making abilities... Considering that there are turntables on the market that demand a mortgage to buy, the Aurora MKII's $1350 price is unusually rational. Mark Baker has done it again: the Aurora MKII sets the musical and sonic standard for its price range. It is capable of communicating the intent of all kinds of music and of triggering the deepest and most exalted musical ecstasy. My wholehearted recommendation!"
 - Paul Szabady, Stereotimes (read the review)


"Surely the best £750 black disc spinner in outright sonic terms"

 - Hi-Fi World (on the Aurora MK2)
 


"Clear precise presentation; realistic vocals; full-bodied attack; thrilling dynamics ... The moment you spin some vinyl, the sound stuns... This is what vinyl's all about - close your eyes and you'll believe the singers are in your room...delivers realism of the highest order... dynamics are excellent, which means continually engrossing performances and edge of the seat listening. You also get a vast, room filling soundstage... the sonic news couldn't be better... It looks like a star and sounds like heaven - a class leader in every respect."
- What Hi-Fi; Group Test Winner and 5 Star Rating for Aurora Mk 1


"The musical and sonic resolution of this Origin Live pair results in a deep aesthetic reaction to music, the most satisfactory and consistent I've yet experienced. A Most Wanted Component of the Year? Yes."
- Stereo Times


"This is one of the few turntables I could listen to for days at a time with no hint of listening fatigue. It presents the music as it was recorded... Pace is second to none along with precision and an extremely believable sound stage. Even with the least expensive pick up arm, this turntable projects an image that is frighteningly realistic..."
- Hi-Fi World


Winner of Stereo Times most wanted component of the year Award in combination with the Illustrious tonearm.  "Simply stated, the Origin Live Illustrious tonearm/Aurora Gold turntable produce the best musical results of any turntable I've ever heard, regardless of price. The level of musical communication available from the Illustrious/Aurora Gold is in a class by itself. It sets a new reference." 
-Stereo Times, Most Wanted Components


 

Overview


Origin Live has always made great sounding analog gear that cost far less than it's performance would warrant. True, they aren't made like a German tank (heck, only a one or two UK companies do that) but everyone who hears them is more than impressed finding them impossible to beat for the money. In recent years they've become very simple to set up, super reliable and play forever with no fuss. If you want a warm mushy sound, this isn't for you. If you want a hyper analytical sound, this isn't for you. If you want as much energy, clarity and emotional impact as possible in your listening room than Origin Live is the table you need to be hearing.


The elegant Resolution MK3 turntable is designed for music lovers who wish to enjoy their records to the fullest with near perfection at lest than perfection pricing. The Resolution brings your vinyl replay close enough to the ultimate to satisfy virtually any music lover. The recreation of an original musical performance involves many factors: High priorities are dynamics, tonal accuracy, transient speed, sound-staging and definition. Dynamics and tonal accuracy are especially important for realism. The ability of the Resolution to handle every one of these factors separates this turntable from most others. Powerful dynamics, superb transparency and tangible sound staging will keep you listening to your record collection for many years to come. The deck's natural, musical presentation makes it compatible with almost any hi-fi system.



Technical


MK3 tables:


Origin Live has introduced a number of major improvements in the MK3 range of turntables dramatically improving on their design of award winning products. The new decks represent a significant increase in performance and value to an already superb sound.

Technical enhancements over previous MK2 models are:

•New type of Acrylic platter material with reduced internal stresses.
•Increased thickness of platter due to changes in overall design.
•New Bearing hub designed for faster energy transmission.
•Lower friction bearing.
•Increased size of plinth for improved aesthetics and stability.
•Improved power supply.
•New belt Material now hand made delivers better sound.
•Quieter motor from additional pod damping.


The result is music reproduction with particular improvements in:

•Rock solid imaging.
•Reduced colouration.
•Refined presentation of low level information.
•More refined separation of individual insturments and vocals. 


Features:



  • Extremely high-grade bearing, precision bored, honed and polished.  The bearing rotates in a pure film of special oil with no surface to surface contact other than the load bearing tip. The load bearing tip acts as a single energy transmission point, essential for sound purity.


  • Platter material is a specially formulated acrylic .

  • Origin tables are non-suspended yet the entire sub-chassis rest on a single point for superb isolation from vibration.

  • A large motor pod imparts great stability to the high-grade DC 200 motor and results in a higher torque on the platter - increased to approx. 4 times what is was previously.

  • Larger diameter motor pod eliminates groundborne vibration effects on motor.


  • Heavy inertia disc for mounting the sub-chassis reduces vertical modes of vibration. Inertia disc pods resist rotational forces due to ground bourn and air bourn vibration. 


  • "Ultra" load compensating motor regulation circuit  incorporates higher grade components and improved stability. Speed control is easily switched electronically between 33 and 45 rpm (78 rpm is also available on request) and pitch adjustable.


  • There is nothing to go "out of tune" on the Calypso turntable and setup is a snap. The turntable is non-suspended and the centre loading makes it simple to set up and fuss free.


  • Upgradeable: All decks can be upgraded with Origin Live Stage 1 or Stage 2 power supplies and'Upgrade' outboard transformer.


  • The Resolution can accommodate most arms by simply changing the sub chassis plate. Subchassis plates are available for SME, Linn, Graham, Hadcock arms - All Roksan arms can be fitted using an adaptor. Also available in a dual armboard version.
