I am in the very fortunate position to be looking to upgrade my turntable. I retired recently so this is likely to be my last turntable upgrade. I am looking for a dual arm turntable and my search has narrowed down to a shortlist.
Origin Live is on my shortlist because it meets all of my technical requirements, has good availability locally for me and has good reviews (although not too many). Not sure yet on model but likely to be either a Resolution or Sovereign deck with Enterprise of Conqueror arm.
I don't see Origin Live mentioned much in forums, hence this post. I was keen to get the views of people who have owned (or have friend who own, so they get to listen to regularly) their turntables. Keen to get all feedback - both those who love them, but also those who have had niggles, concerns or just could not live with them (and why). This is not a cheap upgrade and I want to be well informed before I take the plunge.
One of the others in the shortlist is an SME 12A Twin. It is another deck which on paper meets my requirements, has OK availability for me and is well reviewed. Any thoughts on the comparison between these?
Note sure of main cart yet - but top contender is a Hana Umami Blue (I am using the Hana ML now and love the sound of the Hana cart).
