Review comments

Awarded "most wanted component of 2005" by STEREO TIMES

"The arm transcends its artificial mechanical aspect and seems a part of nature. These are heady regions to inhabit. The Origin Live Conqueror arm is another masterpiece from the fertile mind of Mark Baker. It merits the highest of recommendations and is the obvious choice for Most Wanted Component of the Year. Simply, the Conqueror is in a class by itself".
Stereo Times May 05 on Conqueror Mk2

"2005 World award" - By HI FI WORLD

“The trio (Sovereign – Conqueror – Lyra Olympos) made me forget the walls of my listening room. Fed by well produced records…you felt immediately transported into the recording location. But the three excel not only in spatial recreation. No matter if you play old blues records, grooving Jazz or big orchestras, the music goes straight under your skin. Even with the most exacting test records it was absolutely impossible, not to get caught up emotionally and to only analyse the sound reproduction. If there is program material the Origin Live loves most, it is fast and percussive music. Here the combination could present their speed best. In terms of speed, the combination not only gets from zero to one hundred in record time, but also gets back to standing in the same time. So much detail, so much speed, so much space and such a full presentation should be hard to get anywhere else at this price. For me ORIGIN LIVE in the analogue sector is the discovery of the year!”
Review IMAGE HIFI July/August 2004 Nr.58, Dirk Sommer:

"The Conqueror in my mind is THE FINAL TONEARM: I decided already to sell my SME V and the Graham 2.0 has been sold to UK already. The reason is the sound (or speak about no sound) the arm is providing. Definitely hard to explain the amount of improvement I achieved with this masterpiece of engineering."
B Timmerman, Germany

"it was a shock to find out that the years with the SME were lost years. Your product betters the SME in each aspect. It is outstanding!" 
Andreas Winter - Bochum, Germany

"Arguably the very best tonearm yet made - a startlingly capable all rounder with none of the vices or quirks of rival super-arms" Hi Fi World review

Conqueror Mk2 Selected by Garrard as the best arm they've heard for their review of the new 501 model which won reference status in the German audiophile magazine AUDIO. (reference status means an item of equipment that is considered the absolute BEST in terms of performance regardless of price.)

"the singularly most addicting piece of gear I have ever heard" 10 Audio review

Feature highlights

Arm tube:
High ridgidity accounts for tight, powerful and completely natural bass.

High grade bearings:
Massive research has been conducted into the best bearing design for tonearms by Origin Live. The bearings of the illustrious are carefully manufactured to our own specification.

Yoke design for optimum inertia values
The yoke offers high inertia in the horizontal plane for cartridge stability but minimizes inertia in the vertical plane to enable excellent tracking.

Highly specified bearings improve on the already amazing level of tonal and sound-staging of the Encounter arm.

Headshell:
Holographic images of headshells taken during record playing reveal that most headshells flex and twist significantly. To prevent this microscopic twisting the Illustrious headshell is machined from high strength alloy.
