Origin Live -- Conqueror Tonearm

Stunning. Space prohibits me from detailing every improvement I spotted over the Illustrious, and every difference I heard against the SME Series IV, but suffice to say that this is one of the very best tonearms yet made by anybody, and more importantly, its not voiced in a madcap, no-compromise way that prohibits it from pleasing only some of the people some of the time. Rather, the Conqueror is an immensely useable, versatile, real- world tool that works brilliantly no matter what programme material you use or which partnering equipment.The best praise of all is to say that its a truly fit it and forget design whatever you play, it just dissolves.

Performance
One of the very best tonearms on sale at any price, aptly named the Conqueror. Yet, this isnt an overblown or showy performer its not voiced to impress some of the people, some of the time. Rather, its exceptionally even-handed and balanced in its presentation and sounds sublime across a wide range of music. An immensely high resolution measuring instrument, it is nevertheless consummately musical and organic sounding. A real fit and forget product, no matter what you play, it just dissolves away.
Compared to more affordable Origin Live tonearms, theres an obvious increase in transparency, and with it a heightened sense of realism. Music sounds more natural and less processed, as if a bright light has been shone on the recording and its there in front of you, in all its glory. Yet it confers an uncanny smoothness on the music, too; theres a wonderful sense of ease and rhythmic ebb and flow. Bass is yet more powerful and defined than Illustrious, which is no small feat. Vocals shimmer with natural timbre, and stereo imaging is almost holographic.
