I am on my second OL table and third OL tonearm. The first was an Aurora Mk2 with a OL Silver mk2 tonearm. The Aurora was my first belt drive TT replacing an Optonica RP3636 DD that I had purchased new in 1978. Over time I upgraded the power supply with a purchase direct from Mark Baker at OL who is very responsive with great communication. The table was lively with excellent PRAT performing well above the price I paid for it IMO. I then had the opportunity to replace the Silver with an Encounter Mk3c arm. With this upgrade I started using a Benz Micro Ebony H and the combination was very enjoyable. After a few years of heavy use the cartridge was replaced with the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze and my enjoyment continued. In the past year I was able to acquire a slightly used Illustrious Mk3c arm. The Aurora was capable with this outstanding arm, but I decided after 9 years, to update the TT. I contacted Jay at Audio Revelation and upgraded to the OL Resolution Mk3-2 table. Everything moved to a new level. This is the Origin Live combination that was reviewed very favorably by Micheal Fremer on his Anaogue Planet website. the support and communication by Mark Baker at Origin Live over many years and Jay at Audio Revelation have made owning these tables and tonearm a joy. Presently have a Cadenza Black mounted running into a VAC Renassiance Mk3 pre/VAC power/Thiel CS2.4 speakers.
