Origin Live Illustrious MK4 9,5

Tonearm-Illustrious-Front ILLUSTRIOUS Astonishing sound at a sensible price "The best tonearm I've heard to date… brilliantly detailed yet utterly musical, this arm is set to join the ranks of the all-time greats. Wholeheartedly recommended.” David Price, HiFi World Performance This tonearm sounds astonishing, compared to both Origin Live arms further down the range, and its commercial rivals. This is thanks to the ground-breaking design, and meticulous attention to detail in every respect of its construction. The result is a tonearm that has been widely acclaimed as a performance benchmark. Reviewers and customers alike love the Illustrious for its outstanding bass power, superb dynamics and consummate musicality. It has supreme transparency too, allowing the finest cartridges to be used. Few designs better this brilliant device.
