Product Information
With over two decades of constant evolution, the Origin Live Silver Mk4 remains a tonearm with giant-slaying ability.
Iconic tonearm
In 2002, the Origin Live Silver took the tonearm market by storm; being hailed by the reviewers as more than a match for many designs costing several times as much. Refined over the years, the Silver remains not just the tonearm remains not just the tonearm to beat at its price, but also well beyond, too. If you have a quality mid-range turntable, with a Rega fit armboard, this is the tonearm to beat.
Single piece arm tube with high strength rear stub
The crucial job for any tonearm is to support the cartridge as rigidly as possible – while also allowing for friction-free travel across the record. By using a one-piece, aluminium arm tube, that’s exactly what the Silver achieves. Improving on the Onyx model, the Silver model features a high strength rear stub. This helps improve the counterweight’s stability, ensuring an even more stable support for the cartridge. It gives the Silver improved bass control and enhanced dynamics.
Low friction bearings
Using quality bearings in both horizontal and vertical axis, the Silver delivers smooth, low friction movement across the record. The bearings are fitted within a superior yoke design, with a precision fit that ensures minimal slack and a tight, well-focused sound.
Precision adjustments
Featuring VTA (height) adjustment, the Silver fits a wide range of turntables and cartridges. Using a falling weight side bias adjustment, the Silver achieves a constant anti-skating force, with lower resonance than alternative designs.
High quality cabling – inside and out
Internally, the Silver uses high-grade copper Litz wire. Cryogenically frozen to reduce discontinuities in the conductors, it helps improve the music’s transparency and detail. From the tonearm to your amp, the external cable offers low resistance and a high level of shielding for smooth continuation of the sound.
Hear what a legend sounds like, with the Origin Live Silver Mk4 tonearm.
