Origin Live Encounter MK4 - 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, 2 Year Warranty

“A new benchmark for musical communication, natural detail and timbral truth. All at a price that, considering the quality of its performance, can only be called a bargain.” - Stereo Times

“It says volumes for the excellence of this arm that it could put two such different pickups through their paces so even-handedly.”The Absolute Sound, Editors Choice Award 2012

“And yet, in the firm grasp of the Encounter with the Calypso spinning the platter beneath it, there was nothing entry level about the Aurum Beta S at all. It sounded more like a $2000 cartridge. It became immediately obvious that in the Rega I had simply never heard what it was capable of. In the Origin Live rig it was warm, boisterous, fast, big and ballsy with tone that could only be described as lush and gorgeously vibrant.” Tone Audio
