The new Resolution MK2 is one of the quietest turntables I have yet heard ....now comes part assembled and is much easier to set up than many suspended types. The Resolution MK2 and Encounter MK3 are superbly designed and built, and proved a pleasure to use.......The result then was breathtaking power and passion, without the need to turn up the volume particularly high. ....It was thumbs aloft then for the latest Origin Live Resolution MK2 and Encounter MK3 tonearm.Hi-Fi World 2008 MK1 review comments - " A beautifully crafted, superb sounding turntable that's a smoother, more beguiling alternative to the best of the rest"  "if a turntable like Origin Live's Resolution had come out twenty years ago, the whole hi-fi world would have gone bananas. Here's a brilliantly designed thoroughly modern way to play music - offering higher fidelity than any DVD-Audio spinner, and tremendous "legacy audio" compatibility too!

MK1 review comments -“In fact, this arm-table combo is one of the finest performers I’ve heard at any price....I could make a case for preferring this $4465 spread to the $20,000+ version .....“The Resolution Modern works brilliantly, is well-built, and its price is right. But regardless of price, this is one of the truly special products I’ve reviewed in the past 18 years.”
($4,465 is for Encounter tonearm & Resolution. $20,000 reference is Michael’s Simon Yorke S7, Kuzma Air Tracking Arm, Sounds of Silence platform).
