About Origin Live

The ultimate sound

In a crowded market with conflicting opinions among the "experts", where can you look to find reliable advise? We believe the following report is a truly excellent example that Origin Live really does live up to the claims.

At the prestigious and well attended KlangBilder show in Vienna, those attending were asked to vote which exhibit sounded the best. We are delighted to report that our German distributor - Preference Audio demonstrating the Origin Live Resolution turntable and Encounter tonearm won the "best sound at the show award". This judgment was made using the voting forms handed out to all members of the public entering the show. Against very stiff competition such as Linn, JM labs, Kronos, Audio Physics etc this vote says a great deal.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xe Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory. I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes Phillips, July, 2005

Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music playback short of the dCS trio reviewed by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract	ProAc D100 The imposing new Response D100 takes on the mantle of flagship model from our legendary Response Four, which has delighted discerning audiophiles for the last twelve years.
