The Silver is a leading high performance tonearm offered at a fraction of the cost of its rivals.
The arm builds on the success of the highly acclaimed Origin Live upgrades. The fully upgraded OL1 is listed among the worlds 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
Go ahead, compare this arm with the very best available.

I really like your set-up. I have heard Ayre with Vandies (quattros) before- amazing combo. The 2ce sigs are great... I love that they're matched with a nice turntable set-up. Keep us updated on how the ZYX/ origin live has improved things.
