About the Origine
The Oracle Audio Technologies Origine is an entry-level turntable designed and assembled in Canada, intended to deliver a long-lasting, high-quality analog playback experience at a relatively accessible price point. It uses an outboard synchronous AC motor, belt drive, a one-piece acrylic platter derived from Oracle’s Paris line, and a unipivot tonearm with adjustable effective mass to better match a wide range of cartridge compliances. The Origine MkII version was introduced with updated motor/cueing refinements and was sold with optional cartridge and dustcover configurations. The model has been listed at about USD 2,350 with a cartridge package, and around USD 2,000 without cartridge.
