Excellent condition, like new. 2d owner. Purchased to use with my Technics SL-1210 and a Denon DL-103, before realizing that the Jelco 750D was a better match for that cartridge. I'm throwing in the optional heavy 20mm counterweight with fine adjustment (my cost $83). Installation instructions (manual) and OL protractor included.
Pay via Paypal (3% Paypal fee), bank check or money order. Buyer pays shipping from zip 10941.
Originally priced at $960.00 w/o the heavy counterweight
"the Silver (MK1) is...the very best tonearm I've ever heard…awsomely tight bottom end...the midband - glass clear, incredibly liquid, fantastic image precision, walkaround soundstaging and incredible timbral realism...the treble is shockingly open and airy up top...the £599 price tag is laughably low...could probably charge 5 times this amount...words can’t express how good this is - one of the designs of the decade."

"Origin Live’s Mark Baker continues his world-wide dominance of tonearm design with this extensive re-working of the already superb Silver arm. Retaining the original’s superb timing, rhythm, bass control, and articulation, the new Silver MKII adds a substantially more neutral and error-free mid-band and top-end, able to integrate the typical rising high-frequency response of moving-coil cartridges coherently and without edge. Capable of great nuance and extreme subtlety, the Silver MKII also has great authority, drive and control, yielding an exceptionally deep communication of all music’s meaning. full review

The Silver is a leading high performance tonearm offered at a fraction of the cost of other high end arms. The arm builds on the success of the highly acclaimed Origin Live OL1 and Rega arm upgrades. The fully upgraded OL1 is listed among the world’s “super arms” for performance and frequently mentioned alongside names such as the Linn Ekos, Naim Aro, SME V, Graham etc - these arms all have certain strengths and excel over one another in different areas. However none could really be said to have all the musical characteristics necessary in a tonearm. The Silver addresses this situation by possessing a superb blend of qualities. It is this blend that makes it a truly great all round performer, able to excel in all aspects of music.
All critical components are upgraded using advanced alloys and innovative techniques. The result of these changes is an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. The sound produced is free from coloration allowing previously unheard low level information to be noticed clearly. The arm exhibits a clean dynamic sound coupled with a tight and powerful bass
