Having purchased an Enigma late last year I've recently added an Origin Live Silver Arm & Goldring 1042 Cart to it & having allowed a few weeks to pass I thought I would share my thoughts, such as they are. Initial comparisons with my LP12/Funk/Ekos11/Arkiv B were unfavorable but I continued to use the Enigma & now feel that I can appreciate it more. As this was my first non belt drive 'table I was unsure what to expect so the sound has been a surprise to me. Compared to the LP12 it seems leaner, more taut. The soundstage isn't as deep or as 3 dimensional as the LP12 but details within are much clearer. Both 'tables have their strengths and both are thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. I'm slightly favouring the Enigma at the moment. If I may use a boxing metaphor I would describe the LP12 as a good heavy weight & the Enigma as a great middleweight. Obviously the choice of cartridge limits the validity of my review and I will certainly look to add a good MC when funds allow. In the meantime its back to listening to the recent vinyl reissues of the Nick Cave catalogue.
