Consider adding the Pure Fidelity Harmony or Horizon to your list. Running mine with an OL Conqueror MK 4 but the PF won’t blink at the next level up arm. Really excellent build quality and finish options and super sound.
Feickert Blackbird vs Clearaudio Ovation vs Origin Live Sovreign
I'm currently looking to upgrade my Rega Planar 8. I'm trying to decide between the following tables:
Feickert Trio or Blackbird
Clearaudio Ovation
Origin Live Sovereign Mk4
I have already settled on a tonearm which will be the Origin Live Enterprise and I will continue using my Soundmith Paua cartridge. I'm currently leaning towards getting the Ovation for aesthetic reasons, and it is the only table of the 3 that I have actually heard. I'm hoping people who have had experiences with these tables could chime in. The tables have similar price points and if performance are relatively close to each other, I will get the Ovation.
