Turntable Upgrades
Introduction
Why upgrade? Upgrading your current deck is a sensible option if you want a massive improvement in sound quality and are restrained by budget. It is also a prefered option for those who wish to keep their deck simply because they have grown attached to it or enjoy its particular presentation of music.

Why choose Origin Live? Origin Live have built up a wealth of experience by upgrading virtually every brand of deck in the world for over 15 years. We understand the difference between something that just sounds different to something that sounds much better. This is bourne out by our leading reputation for delivering outstanding results with astonishingly high value for money. There is no substitute for front line experience in knowing what works and doesn't work - in a relatively crowded market we offer solutions that have been tried and tested against the best at many times the prices we offer.
How we offer value for money? High performance need not always cost the earth and for those on tight budgets we achieve high value through better design, economies of scale, in house manufacture rather than sub-contacting, high quality materials that produce great sound rather than the cheaper untested choices used in many products.

Tonearm cable upgrade fitted with 5 din pin This is an easy upgrade to replace your current cable if you have a 5 Din pin plug. We offer 2 grades of external arm cable - the first is our "upgrade" cable and the second is our high end Origin Live "Linear flow 2 external cable" which is a surprisingly significant and extremely high value cable. This cable is said by experienced retailers to outperform any other cable under £1000 and many at £2000. See- Tonearm Cables |
Motor and power supply upgrade No one would blame you for being sceptical of an easy to fit, inexpensive dc motor upgrade. Especially one that improves on the best of other power supplies costing over 4 times as much or your money back. It is simply impossible to imagine the level of improvement attained by eliminating the motor vibration that your stylus amplifies over 8,000 times! Our DC motor kit offers massive improvements to all versions of Linn Lingo / Valhulla, Rega, Systemdeck, Roksan, Rock etc.This is not only a leading power supply but theupgrade includes an all important, superior dc motor to avoid the problems that a mere power supply upgrade on its own fails to address. |

Note: There was a major revision of the Origin Live DC motor supply circuit in August 2010 and it is well worth upgrading older supplies. Part of this was due to the increase of high frequency pollution now increasing the problem of "dirty" mains. We can quote on upgrading your board depending on age of your supply.
