Origin Live Tonearm Enterprise MK5

from $7,490.00

Hearing an Enterprise is an unforgettable event. Breathtakingly realistic, it simply lets the music flow out to the listener in an unmediated way. Although it deserves the very best turntables and cartridges that money can buy, it unlocks huge performance gains from lesser ones and makes mediocre recordings positively sing. From its massively powerful and highly tuneful bass to a treble that is gorgeously silky yet amazingly spacious, it’s a sublime performer. The mineral clarity of the mid band is uncanny, and the sound staging profound. Prospective purchasers of a high-end tonearm owe it to themselves to audition this seminal design.

Warranty
We guarantee arms to be free from fault for 5 years and will undertake remedial work, providing the arm has not been modified by any party other than ourselves. This warranty does not cover abuse or mistreatment, which includes neglecting the instructions in the owner manual.

Features

Yellow stars denote new features not present on lower models.

Higher Strength Low Resonance Arm-tube

The high-grade aircraft alloy tube is stiffened with carbon fibre. In addition, the tube is processed for improved resonance control. A long rear stub sleeve provides further reinforcement and this is carefully interfaced to provide maximum energy dissipation and minimal reflections. This frees up your cartridge to perform as it should – away from the colouration and disruption caused by resonance and reflected vibration.

Sleeved Rear Stub

with a larger diameter, higher strength and improved energy dissipation. This improves counterweight stability in vibration – thus enabling the arm tube to hold the cartridge more steadily.

Rigidly Attached Counterweight

The counterweight attachment has been carefully engineered to hold the armtube more rigidly for cartridge stability whilst at the same time decoupling itself to minimize energy reflection back down the tube. The results are clearly heard in improved dynamics and a sense of power and control in the bass

Low Resonance Counterweight

Counterweight resonance is reduced using a higher grade material and then applying a dampening coating.

Counterweight Fine Adjuster

allows you to easily set the tracking force with a high degree of accuracy. Headshell features improved de-coupling and lightweight finger-lift.

Sophisticated Yoke Decoupling

with several additional isolation interfaces from the vertical bearings.

Dual Pivot Bearings

For vertical arm movement, the bearings consist of Ultra-hard tungsten carbide points sitting in hardened and burnished steel cups. This combination not only delivers incredibly low friction levels but is also much more robust than jewelled bearings which tend to shatter under stress. The results are incredible transparency, fluidity and retrieval of fine detail.

Ceramic Bearings

For horizontal arm movement, the ballbearings are upgraded to highly specified ultra-low friction Ceramic bearings.

Mirror Finished Yoke

The Yoke is finished with a true mirror surface and coated in Chrome Nitride. Using the same supplier as Rolex, this Chrome Nitride coating achieves an extremely high level of quality and durability.

Precise & Accessible VTA Adjuster

VTA can be adjusted precisely and infinitely using a large diameter calibrated dial. A further advantage is that all adjustments can be carried out above the arm-board (unlike lower arms in the range which demand access below the arm-board).
