One of the best turntables in the world .. the sound is stunning. An incredible design with amazing insight in sonic terms.
Long Live Vinyl Magazine Its one of those rare turntables that doubles as a time machine; you dont just play an  album,  you  are  transported to  where  you were when you first heard that album. Records you know well suddenly sound like this is the first time youve heard them.
Hi-Fi+We cant recommend this Origin Live deck highly enough: it has the power to stop a herd of wildebeest with its authorityyet it can also bring a grown man to his knees in tears
What Hi-FiI would recommend this turntable and arm without reservation to other music lovers looking for a turntable or arm upgrade. This will be my final turntable but one that I know I will be very happy with.
John KopecIn essence, this is a high end turntable and arm combination that flies close to the ultimate in terms of performance level. I cannot (perhaps due to the limited time available for the test), detect any serious, medium or even small flaws. Id like to discover more to realise the true extent of its ability to provide musical pleasure. Meanwhile, the Sovereign sits at the pinnacle of current turntable production unless you pay crazy money. As for the arm, all I can say is, superb and well done.
