I have a Teres 245 setup for Rega arm. Question re Origin Live arms


RB 300 arm is ancient with a diy rewire. Having ground hum problems. Decided to upgrade and looking at Origin Live selections. My question is in regard to the wire upgrade value. For instance, should I go with  Origin Live Silver or Zephyr with wire upgrade or Encounter with standard wire harness? Anyone with experience with these arms. I would like to keep in the $1500 range.

@scowler1 - +1 for the Audiomods.

I purchased the original series III tonearm with the silver litz one piece harness about 9 years ago and have not looked back

  • easy to install - plug and play with rega arms
  • amazing build quality
  • superb tracking, details and sound quality
  • Micrometer VTA adjustment optional

Since this review I have upgraded my system significantly and this turntable/tonearm combo has kept pace with all of the upgrades e.g.

  • Bryston B135 amp
  • Simaudo Moon LP5.3 phono stage
  • high resolution cables across the entire system
  • Soundsmith modified Denon DL103 cartridge with optimized countour stylus

It would be quite at home in a much more expensive system

You can now get Jeff to install KLEI RCA plugs - I recommend the Perfect Harmony, which has replaced the Absolute Harmony

When I ordered, it took 6 weeks, but the wait was definitely worth it

The new Series 6 is even better
