If you wish to massively upgrade your turntable motor and power supply then this motor kit far exceeds most peoples expectations.
Alternatively if you have a noisy / broken turntable motor or turntable power supply, then this kit will not only get your deck running again but do it in a manner that transforms it for the better.
The Motor kit upgrade comes complete with everything you need which includes Motor, mounting plate, pulley, Electronic switch box, all leads and connectors, Wall wart plug, strobe card for easy, accurate speed setting and instructions.
What difference can a turntable motor and power supply make?
Grasping the importance of a dead smooth, low vibration drive for your turntable is not easy, until you get a picture of the incredible levels that microscopic vibration is amplified by. As you know, a turntable reads music via a vibrating needle in the record groove. What is not commonly appreciated, is the massive scale of 8000 times magnification, that this signal undergoes before reaching your loudspeakers. This means that unimaginably low levels of vibration affect sound quality dramatically.
Why an Origin Live DC turntable motor kit is better
You may be asking yourself what makes the Origin Live dc motor kit special? Surely the designer of any turntable, installs a drive system fit for purpose. This question deserves an explanation. Many designs are well thought out, and executed with meticulous care, however there are reasons why a goodl design can be let down by the motor and power supply.
For over ten years the Origin Live DC motor drive upgrade has been successfully fitted to the majority of turntable models such as Linn (Valhulla, Lingo), Nottingham Analogue, Roksan, Pink Triangle, Rega, Thorens, VPI, Michell, Heybrook, Opus, Oracle, Well Tempered, Acoustic Research, Systemdek and many more. No matter how advanced the existing power supply, the result of adding the drive upgrade has surprised and delighted owners. It simply produces massive improvements to all aspects of sonic performance.
Who is the turntable motor kit for?
Wherever you live in the world, this kit will work as we supply the correct transformer for your mains supply.
If your turntable is belt drive you will be able to fit the kit. You do not need to ask whether the kit will fit or upgrade your deck, because once you receive the parts, all becomes clear. We receive hardly any calls asking how to fit a kit once it is with an owner, simply because it is unnecessary. Any risk on your part is also removed by the no quibble, money back guarantee should you not be able to fit the kit (less than 0.5%).
The motor will run any platters up to 30kgs in weight through a belt running on the sub-platter or directly on the platter rim.
Decks in excess of £30,000 have been upgraded using this supply - don't be fooled by massive class A amplifiers driving large expensive motors, this laughably small supply still outperforms them. It is reported from owners of all decks, from high end to budget, that the kits produce phenomenal and shocking improvements.
Repairing Defective Decks The kits are very useful not only as an upgrade but also for repairing decks with broken motors or power supplies that would otherwise be unusable. For example, Oracle owners have acquired the Advanced DC Motor Kit at a third of the price Oracle would charge for a new motor, and found it to be a considerable improvement.
All types of belt & pulley size - The variable speed adjustment enables this motor kit to be UNIVERSAL in it's application - the pulley is designed to run with flat or round section belts - the list goes on, but rest assured, this kit has been extremely thoroughly developed and well thought out.
Easy to Fit
You do not need great "Do it yourself" skills or even know how to solder to be able to fit the kit.
For a list of decks modified and fitting instructions, see side menu item "fitting Motors" - This also has many examples, giving step by step instructions on how to install the motor for a particular deck. If your particular deck is not listed or does not have associated instructions, there are additional "General fitting notes" - see side menu bar
Shop Installation: If you prefer to avoid fitting the motor yourself, then you can always use a local Hi Fi shop that knows about turntables.The drive upgrades are available through shops and there are many specialist dealers who can install the kit for you if required. A labor charge will probably be involved, but the total investment is still far less than the cost of other products.
Is the kit worth the outlay on a lower priced deck? - Many Rega owners say that the kit has utterly transformed the performance of their deck. Other owners of budget decks also testify to being deeply impressed by the results. Again - please see the Origin Live web site for owner comments on the sonic benefits to a large cross-section of decks.

Features & Benefits
Control of Motor Energy Fluctuation
A high performance DC motor drive is dependent not only on motor quality but more importantly on a superb power supply.
Motors are hard to drive evenly with absolute precision. Eddy currents within the magnets cause severe power fluctuations among other factors. Negative voltage is fed back into the power supply. If not controlled, this results in motor vibration and severe loss of dynamics. Origin Live power supplies absorb such dips and surges in load, while adjusting to deliver copious and precise power with great speed.
Speed Stability
The motor requires load compensation to maintain the turntable at a constant speed. This is because the drag of the stylus varies between the inner and outer tracks of a record. Many turntables suffer from about 1% speed drift. Not only is there variation from inner to outer tracks - there is also localized variation when the stylus negotiates complex or heavy passages of music.
To overcome these problems, the Advanced and Ultra power supplies have a load sensing circuit that maintains speed drift to a mere 0.1% (as measured by Hi-Fi News magazine - ten times better than the average turntable). The results are increased dynamics, better timing and pitch control, and a greater sense of drive and pace.
It is worth mentioning that for motors, a well designed mains regulator far surpasses the performance of lead acid battery regulation (as used by a few high end pre-amps).
Low Noise
As well as delivering superb speed control, the regulator is designed to produce very low noise, thereby reducing vibration still further. This translates into increased transparency and better definition.
Speed Switching
The speed is easily switched between 33rpm and 45rpm using the knob on the speed control box.

Speed Setting
To cater for different sizes of platter or sub-platter, you can set the infinitely variable motor speed for your particular deck using preset dial resistors. This has the added advantage of making the motor simple to transfer should you ever change your deck.
Motor Features
The high-grade DC motors are best of class and characterized by:
This imparts a massive advantage over the inexpensive AC motors used in most decks, such as the Linn LP12, Thorens, Rega etc. These cannot run smoothly in comparison, no matter how sophisticated and expensive the power supply. The Origin Live DC motor is not only cog-less but also iron-less, which means that flux residue which occurs in cheaper motors is eliminated. Smoother, more efficient operation is the result. The Origin Live motors are also fitted with precious-metal brushes and are highly reliable. The bottom line is that the major source of vibration in any turntable (i.e. the motor) is dramatically improved. The benefits are difficult to imagine and fully appreciate until you hear them.

Many designs are well thought out, and executed with meticulous care, however there are reasons why a goodl design can be let down by the motor and power supply.
- Low vibration, Ironless core dc motors were not available when many older decks were designed
- Most turntable designers are mechanically oriented whereas motors demand electronics expertise.
- Even with electronics expertise, motors are a highly specialist area and the range of choice is vast.
- The expense of proper research is unviable, or not thought to be worthwhile by most companies.
- The cost of high quality motors is prohibitive on many decks.
- Simply refining the supply to an existing AC motor has been found ineffective in comparison to changing to a well designed DC motor. This is due to the inherent vabration caused by an AC current - although in theory AC should be able to perfrom well, the practice is very different due to complex technical reasons. It is impossible to imagine the level of improvement attained by this kit which replaces the weakest link in your record deck - the AC motor.

Motor Features
The high-grade DC motors are best of class and characterized by:
- Low vibration.
- Smooth, powerful rotation.
- The motors are a breakthrough design with virtually no cogging effect due to iron-less cores. Cogging is the 'flick' that occurs as straight rotor windings pass between straight magnetic strips, i.e. the power transfer varies as the coils rotate from one magnetic pole to the next. More expensive motors have 'skewed' coils to ensure a smooth power transfer as the rotor rotates between poles.
This imparts a massive advantage over the inexpensive AC motors used in most decks, such as the Linn LP12, Thorens, Rega etc. These cannot run smoothly in comparison, no matter how sophisticated and expensive the power supply.
