Origin Live Silver 250 Tonearm

The Silver 250 tonearm is one of the finest tonearms available but at an absurdly low investment. The arm builds on the success of the highly acclaimed OL/RB250 and still uses the RB250 base. However, the more critical components of the tone arm have been upgraded using advanced alloys and innovative techniques to massively improve performance. The result of these upgrades is an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. The sound produced is free from colouration allowing previously unheard low level information to be noticed clearly.

"the Silver 250 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"

FEATURES
- New armtube made from high grade aircraft alloy.
- New headshell decoupled and rigidly attached to the armtube.
- Rear Stub and counterweight design is the same as the highly acclaimed Origin live Rega structural modification.
- The horizontal bearings have been upgraded to a higher ABEC specification. In addition to this they have also been positioned outside the arm tube and spaced more widely apart. This has the effect of reducing resonance within the arm tube and increasing torsional stability.
- Medium effective mass to suit the needs of modern moving coil and moving magnet cartridges.
- Internal wiring is high grade Litz wire.
- External wire interconnect is our best choice from hundreds of cables tested.
- Phono connectors are high conductivity - twice the conductivity of the normal gold plated brass phonos found on most interconnects.
