Overview
"The base is like a rock, it's transparent - clear as a bell, the timing is spot-on" and the dynamics, and the sheer enormity of the sound stage are stunning" read more-Bari, Luxembourg

It is now possible to achieve a level of performance that at least one reviewer did not think was possible from a tonearm upgrade ( and he had one of the best arms in the world). No other arm that we are aware of can offer the level of performance available in the Enterprise. This arm is packed with radical new thinking and technological advances, significantly elevating toneram performance beyond anything that has gone before. Rather than put forward all the technical advantages of the Enterprise, 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. We will leave it to the reviews to elaborate on an arm that is capable of everything you could ever want from one of the most important items in the replay chain.
The Enterprise is now available in a 12" version. Click on the thumbnail to view a larger image.
Please note we can now supply a chassis that will allow you to fit a 12" arm to any of our decks

It has wonderful tonal shading (an SME SeriesV sounds monochrome, by comparison) and deep soundstaging with masses of detail........overall it's an exceptional performer — one which offers a brilliant mix of tonality and rhythmic grip..." read more

"So, coming on to the performance. What can I say? Bravo! Now, I have to qualify this a little, in that I am using possibly one of the most neutral-sounding disk-playing transducers you could ever set up, AND a 'custom-built' Clearaudio Goldfinger cartridge, specially made for me by Peter Suchy (it uses the Goldfinger 'motor' in the Titanium body, making it much lighter and - I find - the tracking's surer and it sounds more 'true' to my ear) which all does rather help(!)..." read more
