LISTEN,
CLEARLY,
ALWAYS™
After years of time spent on development and technical collaboration we have now brought our 10.5 inch tonearm to perfection. As a light- to middle- weight arm with an effective mass of approximately 10 grams it is perfectly capable to handle all modern cartridges. The tracking force and the dynamic mass can be adjusted by the graded counterweight using two differently shaped discs for fine adjustment. This gives the tonearm a good adaptability for a great number of different phono cartridges.
The counterweight and the bearing housing are made from high-grade steel, all other parts from black anodized aluminum except the tonearm tube, which is anodized dark gray. The choice of the material and the surface treatment of the tonearm tube guarantee an extremely fast discharge of possible resonance. Combined with a high torsion resistance this allows for a fast and open musical timbre.
The tonearm has a double-cardanic suspension, a fixed headshell and play free bearings. We can adjust the bearing to zero play individually for every user, the tonearm itself has an infinitely variable vertical tracking angle and the internal wiring can easily be modified, it is easily adjustable.
A fully hydraulic tonearm lift raises and lowers the arm precisely.
The magnetic antiskating-adjustment guarantees a friction free run of cartridges even with critically cut needles providing the best possible groove maintenance and eliminating interfering noises. A draw-in culet fixing connects the tonearm shank with the base and cuts out vibrations. The fixing can be loosened with a screw to adjust the shank play free in its height. The draw-in culet fits around the whole shank to prevent pressure marks that could hamper the adjustment.
"This arm bears a striking resemblance to that once made by Breuer of Switzerland, right down to the restrictively shaped headshell." - HiFi + extract

Michell TecnoArm "If your musical priorities are excellent control of both frequency extremes, without analytical sterility, the TecnoArm is more than good enough, especially with its combination of accurate but powerful bass. If low coloration and evenhanded tonality is your priority, the arrival of the Michell TecnoArm means you no longer have to save for a SME series IV or SME V". Mark Wheeler www.tnt-audio.com |

Silver "the Silver is...the very best tonearm I've ever
heard…awsomely tight bottom end...the midband - glass
clear, incredibly liquid, fantastic image precision, walkaround
soundstaging and incredible timbral realism...the treble is shockingly
open and airy up top...the £599 price tag is laughably
low...could probably charge 5 times this amount...words can’t
express how good this is - one of the designs of the decade." |
SME Series V Series V sound has an almost startling dynamic range and neutrality enabling high levels to be enjoyed. It escapes the 'LP' sound and demonstrates that structural resonances in pick-up arms are responsible for much that makes vinyl records readily discernible from master tapes. |

Live Illustrious mk2 and the winner is... the Origin Live
Illustrious, a pick up arm that is quite simply breathtaking.
It's ability to display a three dimensional stereo image is above
critisism, as is it's transparency and lack of artifice. It also
has amazing tonal accuracy, which lets the "flavour" of
each instrument or voice flood out of the speakers. This is the
respect in which it is most obviously superior to the SME....
on any deck ... this is surely the best. |

Rather than list the features of this arm, we invite those who want to experience ultimate performance to simply listen. The most obvious aspects of this arm are it's sheer speed and realism that is approaching live music. The tightness and depth of bass is a revelation and will expose you to your records in a totaly new light
