Origin Live - Silver - tonearm

When first launched back in 2002 the Silver received widespread acclaim for outperforming high-end arms at a fraction of the cost. Hailed by the editor of Hi-Fi World as the best arm he’d ever heard (and he’d heard many many arms). The Silver set the benchmark for our cost-effective designs that overtook both the SME and Ekos arms in performance. Since then the Silver tonearm has undergone significant upgrading as we have gradually brought all of our production in house and developed our technologies.

Silver has a wide range of strengths which make it a great all-rounder. Highly musical, it tracks dynamics accurately and gets right into the groove of the music. You will expect to hear improved speed, dynamics and separation in the music over the Onyx due to its sophisticated tonearm tube design. The Silver also includes higher grade external cable which improves bass weight in comparison to the Onyx. It has a natural tonal balance with excellent transparency and fine performance at both frequency extremes.
