Description
Origin Live Resolution Turntable MK5
The Resolution is one of the highest performing turntables on the market, producing a sound way above its price rivals, with a performance that shows you why vinyl is held in such high esteem. The Resolution MK4 turntable is designed to recreate the original musical performance in its entirety – excellent dynamics, transient speed, definition, and tonal accuracy. Every aspect of its audio performance is strong, making for an unerringly enjoyable listening experience.
Features
Mk5 Motor Power Supply
The Mk5 Motor Power Supply introduces a new PCB in the PSU on all decks offering even more speed stability and improved sonic performance than the former Light Speed Controller. Common problems like speed drift, motor jitter, and cogging are avoided. Speed settings for 33.33 and 45 RPM are operated through one knob with no need for belt/platter change.
DC100 Motor
These high-grade Swiss motors demonstrate the powerful, smooth-running needed in a good turntable motor. Ironless cores eliminate eddy currents which result in low “clogging,” low vibration, and speed stability. Motors are decoupled to minimize vibration and reduce audible noise.
Belt
The belt is manufactured in house using special material which increases grip and reduces stretch under instantaneous loading, using a unique material which dramatically improves on widely used neoprene rubber. Benefits include increased dynamics and deeper bass performance.
High Specification Power Supply
Carefully selected cables from premium suppliers are attached to motor circuitry designed to ensure the motor, the platter, and your vinyl are running smoothly on a consistent power supply.
Pulley
A well-researched special plastic pulley enables maximum belt grip, resulting in increased definition and dynamics. The pulley used on the Resolution is produced to higher tolerances than that on the Aurora and Calypso.
Ultra-low Friction Bearing
Made in house, the new MK4 bearing has ultra-low levels of vibration. The spindle rotates on a tungsten carbide ball bearing centered on a hardened thrust pad for low friction and long life. Low bearing friction is essential to avoid vibration. Unlike decks that “float” the platter using air or magnetic bearings, we believe “earthing” the energy out of the platter is essential for sound purity.
High-Performance Arm Board
The high-performance arm board is double the thickness of the standard arm board and features a weighty steel insert for the tonearm attachment. The added thickness, insert, and mass help to minimize any unwanted vibration traveling through the tonearm. Decoupled from the turntable plinth, the arm board is balanced in equilibrium with the platter and bearing house.
Superb Styling
The Resolution’s circular forms evoke curving mid-century designs. The unmistakable profile and black polished finish make it an eye-catching asset for any décor.
Suspension
Our unique suspension avoids both the softening of leading edges often found in suspended designs and the hardness in many non-suspended designs. The results are:
- Superior pitch, rhythm, and timing
- Rock-solid imaging
- Reduced colouration
- Refined presentation of low-level information
- Easy to follow separation in the music and vocals
Heavy Inertia Disc
Pictured beneath the arm board and platter, this stainless steel disc adds a large mass to the plinth, greatly reducing resonance. Placed at the point of its connection to the sub-chassis, this weighs down the plinth, effectively reducing vertical modes of vibration traveling across the plinth and into the sub-chassis. This minimizes any vibration that could travel into the platter or arm board to disturb your vinyl.
Front Loading Inertia Discs x 4
Alongside the heavy inertia disc, these smaller inertia discs are positioned at the extremities of the plinth, where it may be susceptible to vibration. The small inertia discs resist rotational forces arising from ground and airborne vibration, maintaining the plinth’s equilibrium and, in turn, the equilibrium of the whole turntable.
High Specification Sub-Chassis
The sub-chassis plate balances the armboard with the platter and bearing house, decoupling both from the turntable plinth. Its mass-heavy design also helps to effectively damp vibration traveling through the armboard and platter.
REVIEWS FOR THE ORIGIN LIVE RESOLUTION TURNTABLE
“In fact, this arm-table combination is one of the finest performers I’ve heard at any price… But regardless of price, this is one of the truly special products I’ve reviewed in the past eighteen years.” Read the full review >
Stereophile – Michael Fremer, 2004

“OK, so I think this record player is something rather special …..We have had a handful of products come into Hifi Pig towers in the last year that have really blown us away with what they bring to the party and the way our system has evolved as a result has taken it to what I consider to be a truly world class system. One of these products is of course this turntable and arm combination, and whilst there are much more expensive packages out there I can’t see me feeling the urge to upgrade any time soon, though I probably see a top of the range tonearm from Origin Live in my Hifi life in the future.” Read the full review >
Hi-Fi Pig
“Improved harmonics and tonality were obvious almost right out of the gate. The ambience that filled my dining room caused an immediate stir of emotions… the enhanced tonal shadings produced by this combo made me sit up and pay close attention immediately. The pace, rhythm and timing (PRaT) were stunningly present… You could have knocked me over with a feather.” Read the full review

High Performance Turntables Produce the Ultimate Sound Quality
The record player still reigns supreme in terms of performance. Experts agree that leading turntables provide a more satisfying musical experience than any digital counterparts. Unlike digital streaming & CD, there seems no limitation on the musical information that turntables can extract from vinyl. In recent years, advances in some turntables have caused the gulf between digital performance and vinyl to widen even further. Origin Live draws together many long-established principles of high-end turntable design, along with advanced innovations, to reveal just how much the vinyl medium is capable of.
Why invest in a quality turntable?
If you are unfamiliar with Hi-Fi you may be unaware of the major sound quality differences between one turntable and another. There are over 800 different decks on the market. Faced with such a colossal choice, many buyers take the shortcut and assume “if it looks good, and has a good review, it must be good”. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. To its credit, the Hi-Fi press has long extolled the importance of a good turntable for high sound quality. If the source signal is degraded in the first place, everything else in the Hi-Fi Chain can only exaggerate the problem. It is important to choose your turntable based on its sound quality, which comes from its engineering and design.
Here at Origin Live, we make almost all of our components in our own workshop in the UK, this means we are in total control of the materials, quality control, and design of our products. You won’t find any chipboard, plywood, or flimsy components in these turntables. Using mass effective design in our bearing houses, plinths, arm boards and platters, all possible areas where jitter and vibration can be removed have been carefully considered. Through relentless development, we have selected materials that produce the natural, uninhibited tone from your vinyl.
Turntable Differences Are Greater Than Any Other Item Of Hi-Fi Equipment
CD players sound different to one another, but not a lot in comparison to turntables. Turntables have more influence on the sound of a system than almost any other item of Hi-Fi equipment and the differences between them are massive. A better turntable will improve the clarity, dynamics and ability to follow every strand of the music plus other aspects too numerous to mention. Gone is blurred, woolly bass and general confusion in the sound. Better turntables also have increased pitch stability adding a sense of sub-conscious sense of rhythm, security and confidence to your listening experience.
Rewards Of Higher Investment
A cheap £165 turntable will fall well short of CD performance, whereas a good £1500 turntable should outperform CD. The pursuit of the ultimate sound goes well beyond CD quality however. Turntables can improve a lot further with the right choices in equipment, and often this involves higher investment.
No one could blame you for being sceptical that a truly high-performance turntable is worth the investment. It’s usually only by hearing a direct comparison between two similar-looking decks, that the penny drops. The difference in musical cohesion, dynamics and ability to follow music effortlessly is simply jaw-dropping. It leaves one wondering how such massive differences can possibly exist when outward appearances can look so similar. Usually, this is down to materials, design and engineering. We explain further in our article: what makes the best turntable.
The conclusion is that it’s worth hearing turntable differences so you know what’s possible in terms of sound quality.
