REVIEWS
“I find the midband detail to be incredible, as if there is this translucent window on the music. Treble is a revelation, showing crystalline purity and immense air and space. Yet somehow it’s the rhythm and dynamics that touch the listener… I am left floundering, wondering if this is as good as recorded music ever gets.”, “This is one of the finest turntables I have ever heard, and I’ve tried many”

“If you are in this market then you have got to shortlist this turntable. Its just absolutely fabulous.”
“Thats the first time I’ve heard it in such detail with such space around the instruments, and I can really understand again what they were trying to do in the studio. I don’t think I’ve heard that before. I thought that was absolutely sensational”
“…Almost like hearing it for the first time, really quite amazing”
“Quite frankly I am not sure what could be better”
“It’s Like Having a New Album!” 
Hi-Fi Riff (David Price and Mike Evans)
 
“One of the best turntables in the world… the sound is stunning. An incredible design with amazing insight in sonic terms.”
Long Live Vinyl Magazine
 
“The high-end vinyl market is such that there are products selling for ten times the Origin Live’s price. What really impresses about the Sovereign is that it’s surprisingly close to these uber-decks in sound quality, build and overall engineering – it gives almost nothing away.” “Origin Live’s Sovereign S/Agile is one of the best vinyl front ends that money can buy. It is so much better than normal ‘affordable’ turntables in the way it makes music that conventional considerations of ‘value for money’ fall by the wayside.”
StereoNET
 
“It’s one of those rare turntables that doubles as a time machine; you don’t just play an album,  you are transported to where you were when you first heard that album. Records you know well suddenly sound like this is the first time you’ve heard them.”
Hi-Fi+
 
“We can’t recommend this Origin Live deck highly enough: it has the power to stop a herd of wildebeest with its authority—yet it can also bring a grown man to his knees in tears…”
What Hi-Fi
 
“I would recommend this turntable and arm without reservation to other music lovers looking for a turntable or arm upgrade. This will be my final turntable but one that I know I will be very happy with.”
John Kopec
 
“In essence, this is a high-end turntable and arm combination that flies close to the ultimate in terms of performance level. I cannot (perhaps due to the limited time available for the test), detect any serious, medium or even small flaws. I’d like to discover more… to realise the true extent of its ability to provide musical pleasure. Meanwhile, the Sovereign sits at the pinnacle of current turntable production unless you pay crazy money. As for the arm, all I can say is, ‘superb and well done.”

Features
Mk5 Motor Power Supply
The Mk5 Motor Power Supply introduces a new PCB in the PSU on all decks offering even more speed stability and improved sonic performance than the former Light Speed Controller. Common problems like speed drift, motor jitter and cogging are avoided. Speed settings for 33.33 and 45 RPM are operated through one knob with no need for belt/platter change.
 
Suspension
Our unique single-point cantilevered suspension avoids both the softening of leading edges often found in suspended designs and the hardness in many non-suspended designs. The results are:
Superior pitch, rhythm, and timing
Rock-solid imaging
Reduced colouration
Refined presentation of low-level information
Easy to follow separation in the music and vocals
 
Belt & High-Spec’ Pulley
The belt is manufactured in-house using special material which increases grip and reduces stretch under instantaneous loading, using a unique material which dramatically improves on widely used neoprene rubber  – benefits include increased dynamics and deeper bass performance. 
Our highest-tolerance plastic pulley enables maximum belt grip, resulting in increased definition and dynamics.
 
Heavyweight Plinth
Using three high-mass layers in the plinth helps to decouple the attached platter, bearing and arm board from the deck’s environment. Multiple layers help to absorb and dissipate resonance through the destructive interference of vibrational waves.
 
Ultra-low Friction Bearing
Made in house, the new MK4 bearing has ultra low levels of vibration. The spindle rotates on a tungsten carbide ball bearing centred on a hardened thrust pad for low friction and long life. Low bearing friction is essential to avoid vibration. Unlike decks which “float” the platter using air or magnetic bearings, we believe “earthing” the energy out of the platter is essential for sound purity.
 
High Specification Power Supply
Carefully selected cables from premium suppliers are attached to motor circuitry that is designed to ensure the motor, the platter and your vinyl are running smoothly on a consistent power supply.
 
High-Performance Arm Board
The high-performance arm board is double the thickness of the standard arm board, but also features a weighty steel insert for the tonearm attachment. the added thickness, insert and mass help to minimize any unwanted vibration traveling through the tonearm Decoupled from the turntable plinth, the arm board is balanced in equilibrium with the platter and bearing house.
 
Heavyweight Pods
Decoupling the turntable from its environment is critical to high-end turntable performance. For this reason, The feet are housed within heavyweight pods attached to the central layer of the three-part plinth. This not only helps to decouple the plinth, but the mass of the plinths also helps the plinth to resist and manage any resonance from the platform and direct energy transfer from the bearing/arm board away from the platter.
 
Suberb Styling
The Sovereign is an arresting, centrepiece design. Like the name suggests, its has an authoritative aesthetic, to match the authority in its sound. The unmistakable profile and black polished finish make it an eye-catching asset for any décor.
