Thanks for the responses. The StereoTimes review was a good read. I don't think Origin Live's home page has a link to it yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. And, apparently, the next issue will review OL's TT kit, so I'll look forward to that. Good to hear about your motor kit experience, Mdok -- that's reassuring. The TT kit sounds like fun, actually. For now, I may replace my old arm with a OL-mod RB250.
Know Origin Live arms and TT kits?
Anybody have any experience with Origin Live (http://www.originlive.com/index.htm) phono products – namely, (1) Rega RB250 arm modifications, and (2) turntable kit? ----- I have an early 1980s vintage Planar 3 with the S-shaped (R200?) arm. Was planning to buy a new cartridge, then got to thinking about an arm upgrade, then… Just curious about the Origin Live stuff, at budget prices.
