Origin Live Illustrious Mk4 ToneArm.

This tonearm sounds astonishing, compared to Origin Live arms further down the range, and its commercial rivals. The ground-breaking design, and meticulous attention to detail results most noticably in an improvement of bass performance. However as always, when you go higher in the Origin Live range, every other aspect improves, notably definition, deep powerfull bass, transparency and dynamics.

The result is a tonearm that has been widely acclaimed as a performance benchmark. Both reviewers and enthusiasts love the Illustrious for its outstanding bass power, superb dynamics and consummate musicality. It has supreme transparency too, allowing the finest cartridges to be used. Few designs better this brilliant device.

(Cartridge not included!)

Ultra low friction dual-pivot bearings for sweet, precise treble performance
Dual-Pivot floating vertical bearings decouple the armtube from the deck, reducing coloration
Higher mass Yoke than the Encounter results in a high definition tagible sound, particularly in the bass
High strength aircraft alloy headshell for increased dynamics
Superb quality copper conductor plugs eliminate signal degradation
Integral VTA adjustment
