Turntable Power Supply & Motor Drive Range

Description

The turntable power supply upgrade consists of a high-grade motor and external boxed power supply. The motor plate is designed for drop-in replacement of your existing turntable motor. Three levels of upgrade are offered - Standard, Advanced and Ultra.

Motor Drives Include All You Need:

• Fully built speed control / switch box with all leads and plug connectors.
• 33rpm & 45rpm. (H x W x D) 50 x 110 x 180mm
• High grade DC motor with precision bored, electro plated pulley designed for flat and round belts. The motor is supplied with a motor plate adaptor to enable fitting to your deck.
• Transformer for either 240/230V, 50Hz or 110V, 60 Hz mains supplies.
• Strobe card for easy and accurate speed setting.
• Fitting instructions: The upgrade motors and turntable power supplies are fully built, no soldering is required - they are literally plug and play. Installing the motor in your deck is usually a simple procedure with full instructions provided.

Range

Standard Upgrade - For All Decks

The Standard kit is for those on a severely limited budget. It is intended for low value decks that you wish to keep running - Comparison against the Advanced kit features mean the following:

• The circuitry lacks load compensation and so has plus or minus 0.4% speed drift from the inner to outer grooves.
• Components are downgraded - the casework for the kit looks the same as the advanced, but has a red LED for identification.
• Performance is a significant upgrade on most older motor drives but lacks much of the dynamics, bass power and accuracy of the advanced kit.

The power supply comprises: DC100 Motor, Advanced off-board control box and transformer power supply 240/230 v 50HZ and 110v 60HZ options.

UK Retail: £255.00
Export (Outside EEC): £212.5

Advanced Upgrade - For All Decks

DC100 motor - This is a high torque, near silent running motor with very low vibration. Due to higher torque it also has improved load compensation. These advances are well reviewed and result in a more integrated sound, better timing, rhythm and pitch, freedom from coloration, improved transparency and dynamics.

Advanced switch box - identifiable by it’s green LED, the advanced switch box has a much more sophisticated circuit design with improved load compensation and higher instantaneous power delivery.

UK Retail: £345.00
Export (Outside EEC): £287.50

Ultra Upgrade - For Mid To High End Decks

Increased dynamics, bass weight and power are just a few of the major benefits to be gained with the Ultra upgrade.

DC100 motor as described for the advanced upgrade.

Ultra switch box - identifiable by it’s black aluminium case and blue LED includes the following features:

Component upgrades - Many aspects of component specification have been upgraded, including low impedance / low leakage capacitors, highly specified diodes, special LED.

Circuit upgrades - The circuit design has been refined to:

• Reduce electrical noise
• Reduce response time
• Increase current delivery

Upgrade Transformer

A special upgrade transformer is offered as an option for all switch boxes. This features an extremely advanced, purpose-designed transformer housed in an outboard enclosure. If you have an existing standard Origin Live transformer, then it simply substitutes in it’s place.

The vastly increased delivery of instantaneous high current results in improved transparency, dynamics and deeper bass.

 

DC100 & DC200 Turntable Motor Option

You now have the opportunity to purchase the new DC100 motor offered with origin live motor kits. This provides a large performance improvement for all existing OL motor kit owners as well as offering dramatically reduced motor noise. The DC100 motor is included with the new advanced and Ultra kits from August 2003.

The DC200 turntable motor (pictured) offers the ultimate in terms of performance, delivering a clear improvement in dynamics and power of presentation over the DC100. With higher torque and smoother rotation, the results are clearly audible, with all the usual characteristics of an improved motor drive. This is particularly true in the bass region where there is a great increase in dynamic power and depth.

You also save 15 GBP when you by the transformer with an OL PS Unit (above).

Please let us know your turntable make in the "additional information" section of the online order form when you get to that section in customer details.

Note this price does not apply to "ultra kit with no motor"
