@dodgealum with the origin live silver, it comes in at $3995 new, which is a fair amount less than the other options I listed above. Is it a significant step above the clearaudio concept?
Turntable Upgrade Advice
Hello all!
I am considering upgrading my Clearaudio Concept TT in the near future to something a little more substantial. I have a short list at the moment, so was wondering if anyone has any insight into these and whether or not they would be an upgrade worth the investment.
1. Michell Gyrodec SE with Technoarm 2 ($5445)
2. Transrotor Darkstar with RB-330 ($5635)
3. Transrotor ZET 1 with RB-330 ($6365)
4. Nottingham Hyperspace with Ace-Space arm ($6590)
The Nottingham and ZET 1 are 'stretch' possibilities that are technically a little above my budget.
Mostly listen to Jazz on vinyl, but do play a variety of genres occasionally, if that makes any difference.

@vinylshadow I have. The Resolution and Sovereign models seem pretty nice, but I can only find one dealer in the US that sells them online and they are pretty barebones with no descriptions or data or info on what comes with them (if anything). I'm assuming these are sold without arms, which would put the Sovereign out of my price range, but the Resolution could be possible depending on arm choice. I just don't know much about them at all. @mijostyn The Michell has been one of my favorites for a long time (I really like the orbe as well, but it approaches $8500 new with the TechnoArm, which is beyond what I'd be able to budget - however, it is one I'd also be considering used if at a good price). |
Well @mmcgill829 Millercarbon is now an Origin Live dealer rep.... He has the Sovereign and said it's the best table he's ever heard... I'll be getting 1 as soon as I can. But their other tables are excellent as well. As well as their tonearms. You can always email OL and they will answer all your questions. Here is a great video with OL's designer Mark Baker:
