- £1790.00
Origin Live Encounter MK5 Tonearm
The Origin Live Encounter MK5 introduces dual-pivot bearings to the range, designed for low friction, improved isolation and natural musical detail.
Tungsten-carbide bearing points sit in hardened steel cups to support vertical movement. An aircraft-grade alloy arm tube, stable counterweight support and improved headshell decoupling help control unwanted vibration.
Setup includes azimuth adjustment and a calibrated VTA dial accessible above the armboard.
A 1-metre Origin Live Upgrade tonearm cable with gold-plated RCA plugs is supplied, with a choice of straight or right-angle 5-pin DIN connection at the arm.
