The Aurora Mk2 turntable follows in the steps of its high performance predecessor but with improved looks and still higher performance. Derived in many aspects from Origin Live’s award winning Aurora Gold - it represents unrivaled performance at this price point AND well above it.
The Aurora MK2 will comfortably outperform many more expensive decks even when fitted with inexpensive tone arms and cartridges. Investing that little bit extra in the turntable almost always results in a considerable overall saving.
The strengths of the Aurora MK2 lie in its superb transparency, coupled with tangible sound staging and imaging. It is very neutral and will suit most systems exceptionally well. You can expect this turntable to give you many years of listening pleasure.
