I currently have the latest Enterprise mk4 tonearm and prior to that a mk3 and before that a Conqueror. Going even further back my tone arms have included several Ittoks, and a Michell (modified Rega). My experience with the Origin Live products has been very positive with each upgrade showing...

Hi fellow ART9 owners. I have recently purchased a new ART9 cartridge and am amazed at the standard of sound coming from (some might say) a reasonably priced MC Cartridge. I am also in the position of having just received my Lyra Skala MC Cartridge back from a complete rebuild by Lyra and...

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has last years HiFiCritic's review on the AT ART9 mc cartridge and what their comments and conclusion were.

I've enjoyed reading all the comments about the AT ART9 mc cartridge and would be very interested in any more. HiFiCritic did a review of the ART9 cartridge last year and I would be very grateful if someone could pass on what their opinion and conclusion was. Cheers, Stuart

Hi Ben, Mounting the Conqueror on my LP12 was no trouble at all to set up properly (many years ago I was a Linn dealer so I have some experience with Linns). I easily achieved a very smooth vertical bounce with even decay, and bear in mind that the Conqueror is slightly heavier still than the 2...

Hi Starbuck, I have experimented with an alternative (two metal plates with a layer of foam in between) motor mount on my Origin Live DC powered LP12. The results were inconclusive as to which was better (but definitely promising) due mainly to lack of time, but certainly the...

Due to the keen interest (shown previously on these pages) in multi outlet power blocks (Hydras and others) I'm surprised that there hasn't been more interest in finding out more about how to build a DIY Powerigel (sometimes called a power hedgehog). Is there anyone out there (who has one)...

As the price of the genuine article is a mile beyond my budget, I would like to build one for myself. I have the services of an audio technician, some spare near new Naim mains cables and the ability to "cold weld". Is there somebody out there willing to open their Powerigel and post some...

Hello again Pietro, I'm not the best on computors but I have just tried www.trademe.co.nz and then once in the Trademe site, I searched linn lp12 motor and found it. If you don't have any luck it might be best to phone me on the number above. Another possibility would be for me to email it...

Hi Pierre, I have a perfect condition 3year old (later version) motor for sale on our New Zealand "Trade me" site. Have a look and if you are interested you can contact me by phoning +64 3 3519 005. Cheers, Stuart
