Origin Live Resolution Classic

The Resolution Classic turntable is approximately the same specification as the Resolution Modern but styled for those who prefer a more traditional look, and comes with a lid. Formerly known as the Oasis-S, this represents the culmination of an intense pursuit of the ultimate performance available today. At Origin Live, we believe that vinyl reigns supreme in terms of musical performance and quality.

The Resolution Classic is a high end turntable designed for those who wish to take maximum advantage of this superb medium. The turntable draws on long established principles of high end turntable design, combined with more recent innovations. Only the highest grade parts are used, especially in the bearing design, which enjoys extremely fine tolerances. Due to its exceptional performance, the Resolution Classic is able to maintain its superiority over other decks even when fitted with inexpensive tonearms and cartridges. Investing that little bit extra in the deck can therefore result in a considerable overall saving.

Reviews

"Best of all were those strongly articulated images which hung out from the soundstage and were completely unmoved by other instruments positioned in front and behind them. Factor in the firecracker dynamics, taut bass lines and an infectiously toe-tapping sense of rhythms and it’s a powerful performer....It’s very natural, supple and cohesive with tremendous delicacy and an impeccable sense of timing. It takes you deep into the music and doesn’t preoccupy you with the minutiae of reduction and recording details. Rather, it strings the whole thing together superbly and just cuts to the chase of the music....As such it’s superb value...Brilliantly judged package with tremendous strength in depth....An essential audition"

MICHELL TecnoDec Michell's new TecnoDec is essentially a latest-spec GyroDec with the expensive bits stripped off. To wit, it has no suspension to speak of, and lacks its bigger brother's beautiful suspended weights, in all their gold-plated splendour. Frankly though, if I was going to strip bits off the Gyro to slash cash, these are precisely what I'd bin. The advent of the new DC motor (its source still a well kept secret!) has made the new TecnoDec even more speed-stable than the old, QC-aspired AC Orbe complete with that massive massloaded acrylic platter. In the new DC powered world, weighty platters would appear less essential.

Michell GyroDec SE Once you hear the Gyrodec SE Mk.II (or rather, don't hear it), you know it’s going to be in your system for the long haul. With a naturally balanced cartridge, I have not heard reproduced music sounding closer to live than through the Gyrodec. I don't see the need to spend more on a turntable, even after hearing the big boys at various high end shows. This turntable is designed to provide long-term satisfaction, and is most highly recommended. Brad Morrical - Positive Feedback

SME Model 10 The SME Model 10 is a welcome addition to a very fine range, handling all sorts of material with an open and persuasive balance that encourages you to keep on listening and hunting for more vinyl (it is out there by the way). As well as being stylish it's ridiculously well made - so forget your BMWs and your Lexii. This is Rolls-Royce Aerospace grade hi-fi and it's a bargain at the price. - JK, Hifi Choice

Brinkmann LaGrange The Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback

Origin Live Resolution “In fact, this arm-table combo is one of the finest performers I’ve heard at any price....I could make a case for preferring this $4465 spread to the $20,000+ version .....“The Resolution Modern works brilliantly, is well-built, and its price is right. But regardless of price, this is one of the truly special products I’ve reviewed in the past 18 years.”
($4,465 is for Encounter tonearm & Resolution. $20,000 reference is Michael’s Simon Yorke S7, Kuzma Air Tracking Arm, Sounds of Silence platform).
- Michael Fremer, Stereophile July 2004

SME Model 20/2A If I have appeared to be too uncritical of this player, then I apologise but it is one of the few truly great components to come my way in recent years. As an evaluation and demonstration tool the 20/2A is unsurpassed. On occasions I have tried to set up top class systems only to be frustrated when, despite hours of setting up and fine adjustment, the system simply fails to gel. This never happened with an SME player at the front end! - HiFi Choice David Wiley
