The most obvious aspects of this arm are it's sheer speed and realism that is approaching live music. The tightness and depth of bass is a revelation and will expose you to your records in a totaly new light. We will leave it to the reviews to elaborate on this but this is a brief taster of an arm that is capable of everything you could ever want from a tonearm.

Michell TecnoArm "If your musical priorities are excellent control of both frequency extremes, without analytical sterility, the TecnoArm is more than good enough, especially with its combination of accurate but powerful bass. If low coloration and evenhanded tonality is your priority, the arrival of the Michell TecnoArm means you no longer have to save for a SME series IV or SME V". Mark Wheeler www.tnt-audio.com |

Silver "the Silver is...the very best tonearm I've ever
heard…awsomely tight bottom end...the midband - glass
clear, incredibly liquid, fantastic image precision, walkaround
soundstaging and incredible timbral realism...the treble is shockingly
open and airy up top...the £599 price tag is laughably
low...could probably charge 5 times this amount...words can’t
express how good this is - one of the designs of the decade." |
SME Series V Series V sound has an almost startling dynamic range and neutrality enabling high levels to be enjoyed. It escapes the 'LP' sound and demonstrates that structural resonances in pick-up arms are responsible for much that makes vinyl records readily discernible from master tapes. |

Live Illustrious mk2 and the winner is... the Origin Live
Illustrious, a pick up arm that is quite simply breathtaking.
It's ability to display a three dimensional stereo image is above
critisism, as is it's transparency and lack of artifice. It also
has amazing tonal accuracy, which lets the "flavour" of
each instrument or voice flood out of the speakers. This is the
respect in which it is most obviously superior to the SME....
on any deck ... this is surely the best. |
Brinkmann 10.5 "This arm bears a striking resemblance to that once made by Breuer of Switzerland, right down to the restrictively shaped headshell." - HiFi + extract |
