Origin Live - Illustrious MK4 tonarm
27 490 SEK
Origin Live Illustrious MK4 är ett klart steg upp i OL's "Premium range", som bl.a. har s.k. "Dual-pivot"-lager, förbättrat armrör (sammansatt av fem olika material) som är betydligt styvare än Encounters dito.
OL Illustrious i korthet:
* 9,5 tums armrör (Regas geometri)
* Horisontellt lågfriktionslager/Vertikalt "dual pivot" lager
* Justering av VTA från sidan
* Armrör uppbyggt av fem olika material
* Motvikten frikopplad från armröret
Som alla OL's tonarmar går det att beställa dessa även i 12 tums längd till en extra kostnad.
“The Origin Live Calypso Mk4 with Illustrious tonearm is flabbergastingly good! Tonally neutral, it has absolutely no coldness or hardness or any other sonic clue that can sometimes be attributed to a technically extremely well-executed reproduction. Nope, this turntable’s full-color- and harmonically rich delivery is the antithesis of a cool or sterile sound.
[...]
By now, it will come as no surprise that I am totally smitten with this player. It is a permanent part of my system and I seriously doubt if there is a player out there that can beat it in terms of outright enjoyment and musical flow. And even in technical and audiophile terms, I’ve not heard a better performance than this. I know that much more expensive turntables exist, yet I struggle to think of any single area in which the Calypso/Illustrious combo could be meaningfully improved.
I can’t recommend it more highly – this is a must-hear!”

Illustrious Tonearm
Performance
This tonearm sounds astonishing, compared to Origin Live arms further down the range, and its commercial rivals. The ground-breaking design, and meticulous attention to detail results most noticably in an improvement of bass performance. However as always, when you go higher in the Origin Live range, every other aspect improves, notably definition, deep powerfull bass, transparency and dynamics.
The result is a tonearm that has been widely acclaimed as a performance benchmark. Both reviewers and enthusiasts 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.
