{"product_id":"origin-enterprise","title":"Origin Live Enterprise MKV Tonearm (MK5)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eHearing 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, its 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigher Strength Low Resonance Arm-tube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeved Rear Stub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRigidly Attached Counterweight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Resonance Counterweight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCounterweight resonance is reduced using a higher grade material and then applying a dampening coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCounterweight Fine Adjuster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllows you to easily set the tracking force with a high degree of accuracy.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic Bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor horizontal arm movement, the ballbearings are upgraded to highly specified ultra-low friction Ceramic bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMirror Finished Yoke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoke is finished with a true mirror surface and coated in Chrome Nitride.

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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalling Weight Side Bias\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTests show this to be the highest performing method of achieving side bias.
