Summary

Spectacular progress has been made in the art of vinyl replay over recent years. Nowhere is this more realised than in the design of record player motor drives. If you have a cherished deck such as a Linn, Roksan, Michell, Rega etc, you can now take it’s performance to entirely new levels. The level of improvement will surprise you and probably have you listening to your record collection into the early hours.
As Vinyl still represents the pinnacle of reproduced music in terms of quality, upgrading your motor supply is one of the best investments you can make, due to the higher benefits in performance. Unlike cartridges, a drive upgrade will produce a far more profound improvement and last a lot longer. It is also transferable to other decks should you ever decide to change in the future.
