Origin Live Enterprise Tonearm MKV
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, itās a sublime performer. The mineral clarity of the midband is uncanny, and the sound staging profound. Prospective purchasers of a high-end tonearm owe it to themselves to audition this seminal design.

Reviews
āA superb pickup arm with a grippingly musical sound and lovely rhythmic ability. It has wonderful tonal shading (an SME Series V sounds monochrome by comparison) and deep soundstaging, with masses of detailā¦ overall itās an exceptional performerāone which offers a brilliant mix of tonality and rhythmic grip.āĀ Read More >
Hi-Fi World
āImproved harmonics and tonality were obvious almost right out of the gate. The ambience that filled my dining room caused an immediate stir of emotionsā¦the enhanced tonal shadings produced by this combo made me sit up and pay close attention. The pace, rhythm and timing were stunningly presentā¦you could have knocked me over with a feather.āĀ Read More >
Stereo TimesĀ (Product of the Year Award)
āā¦in the case of the Enterprise-C (12 inch) what notional sacrifices are made in extending the arm are more than balanced by the added accuracy across the whole album side. There is a ājust cutā fluidity and openness to the sound that makes it seem like albums you know through repeated plays are fresh from the stamper.āĀ Read More >

āYou are just so bowled over by the music that the rest is simply āin the noise levelā. But itās weird, this is what the records are supposed to be communicating, and suddenly, itās completely natural and easy to listen toā¦.āĀ Read More >
