European Premiere of Origin Lives Ultra-High-End Renown Tonearm

European Premiere of Origin Lives Ultra-High-End Renown Tonearm

Origin Live is reaching a milestone this year: The companies Turntables and Tonearms are finally playing in a room at the Munich High-End show where they are exhibiting with German Distributors High Fidelity Studio in rooms A 4.1, F126/F127.

The High Fidelity Studio system will include Origin Lives Conqueror tonearm mounted on the Sovereign-S turntable, which has been making some highly regarded rounds of the British press recently. With its ultra-low friction bearing (ask for a demo if you want to see a platter spinning for three minutes with no drive), its high-mass sandwich plinth, decoupled belt drive, and its multi-layer platter, this is a great representation of the company's design ethos. The Sovereign-S and Conqueror will play alongside a static display of three other OL decks.

Other debuts include the first sighting in Europe of the Renown, Origin Lives' ultimate expression of the tonearm. The company has pushed its tonearm design philosophy to the extreme in the tonearm’s noticeably extended, hollowed yoke and bearing assembly, and in the material composition and coatings of the arm tube. Familiar elements are present, such as the dual pivot bearing, inner/outer pillar VTA flywheel, and falling weight side bias as well as a newer addition also available on the Agile Tonearm; the asymmetric Multi-Layer Counterweight. Engaging with concepts used on their Turntables Multi-Layer Platters and the new Strata Multi-Layer Platter Mat the counterweight employs, you guessed it, multiple layers along its flat planes to reduce resonances through vibrational interference.
When you spend enough time looking at super high-end tonearms, you'd be forgiven for thinking that aesthetics must be crucified to achieve the highest performance. Not so with the Renown, possibly the most elegant tonearm in the category, while making no compromises in its form-follows-function design. The resulting product is one of the finest performers in the world and a masterclass in the company's house sound of naturally tuned, highly dynamic, separated, and detailed, three-dimensional musical reproduction.

The Ultra-high-end tonearm is available for £26,000 worldwide.

It’s with great pleasure that the company invites visitors to the Munich High End to stop in and view the efforts of the family-run British company, where members of the family will be happy to field questions, discuss the products, and give demonstrations.
