Performance

The Alliance is the entry arm of the Origin Live range. Built for performance and affordability it represents a big step up from other budget arms and will reward you with vastly improved dynamics, clarity and detail.

People often ask if this arm is better than the fully modified OL1 which was reviewed time and again to be preferable to the SMEV, Ekos, Arrow etc. The good news is that this arm outperforms a fully moded OL1 and represents staggering value for money. Having said this the higher arms in our range go A LOT further.


Features

The design philosophy of the Onyx is derived from the legendary Silver tonearm.

• High grade aircraft alloy, single piece armtube.

• Innovative but highly effective low cost bearings (similar to knife edge design).

• High grade Internal Litz wire and standard external cable with RCA plugs to fit into your amplification.

• Integral VTA adjustment.

• Fits ALL Rega armboard cut outs whether old style threaded base or new 3 point mounting.


For fitting guidance see arm fitting

We suggest you order a stylus force gauge £8 to set tracking force if you don't have one - see options tab at the top of this page.

£250
