Origin Live Aurora MkIV Turntable Ex-Dem with New Silver MkV Tonearm and Hana EL Moving Coil Cartridge

The Aurora is an affordable evolution of the much more expensive high performance Sovereign deck. In fact the relatively low price bears no relation to the stunning performance that this deck is capable of.

The Aurora is acclaimed first and foremost because of it’s musicality. In spite of being lowest in the range, it inherits design features from our very high end decks, acclaimed among the best in the world regardless of price. Remarkably, it offers true high end performance, comfortably outperforming more expensive decks–even when fitted with inexpensive tonearms and cartridges.

Performance hallmarks are superb transparency, realistic timing, tangible sound staging and accurate imaging. The Aurora’s inherent musicality and smooth tonal balance guarantee many years of listening pleasure.

The Aurora turntable follows in the steps of its award-winning predecessors, but with super accurate speed control and significantly increased performance

Origin Live is a privately owned British company with a fanaticism to reproduce music as played originally, live – hence the name Origin Live. We design and manufacture in house which has many advantages for innovation, production costs and quality.

The Silver MkV Tonearm has a wide range of strengths which make it a great all-rounder. Highly musical, it tracks dynamics accurately and gets right into the groove of the music. You will expect to hear improved speed, dynamics and separation in the music over the Onyx due to its sophisticated tonearm tube design. The Silver also includes a higher grade external cable which improves bass weight in comparison to the Onyx. It has a natural tonal balance with excellent transparency and fine performance at both frequency extremes.
