How Origin Live's Sovereign S/Agile Turntable Will Charm Analogue Addicts

This episode sees the guys audition nearly £20,000 worth of high end turntable from one of the UK's longest established vinyl specialists. Both Mike and David are a little sceptical about spending so much money on a vinyl record player, especially when there are many great ones costing far less. But the sound speaks for itself... They're rather taken aback that, seventy five years after the launch of the microgroove LP, the format can sound this good. It gives hi-res digital a bloody nose, and makes listening to records a profound experience. Cynics may disagree – but the guys reckon they should at least hear one for themselves before jumping to conclusions! Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way. So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below.
