The shielding is promoted as being sonically superior. High purity copper is used at the heart of the cable for a reported increase in natural tonal balance. What is unusual here is the employment of a combination of over five dielectric insulators to ensure an even response. The action of twisting a cable to reduce this effect is not unusual. Inside, you will find a twisted pair of leads that help to reduce inductance. The cable itself is a fully balanced design, although you can use it with unbalanced systems with no problems.

I reviewed Origin Live’s Shielded Linear Flow 2 cable technology some time ago so was very pleased to hear that the technology had now been brought to bear upon the cable that hangs off the back on my SME IV tonearm which sits upon my reference Avid Acutus deck. You can lead an arm to music…but how much it drinks depends on that lead. Hoping to improve the performance of the much vaunted SME arm by adding a third party tonearm cable, Paul Rigby reviews Origin Live’s Linear Flow 2 SME cable
