INTRODUCTION
Thank you for ordering an Origin Live arm. We trust you
will enjoy getting closer to the original sound and
appreciating your music in a new way.
Please give special attention to underlined text in these
instructions.
Photos and diagrams cover a range of arms and illustrate
concepts – do not expect exact representations of your
specific arm.
Notes:
a) It may seem there is “play” in the bearings - this is a
design feature. The high grade bearings for horizontal
and vertical movement are “floated” inside their
housings to allow slight movement rather than rigidly
coupling them to the structure. These bearings are self
centering so you need not be concerned about apparent
movement.
b) The sound of new arms and rewires will improve
significantly over the first 40 to 100 hours of running
time as wires burn in.
