High Specification Power Supply
Carefully selected cables from premium suppliers are attached to motor circuitry that is 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 over.
Standard Armboard
Our standard armboard provides premium performance for the price point. Decoupled from the rest of the turntable, the armboard is balanced in equilibrium with the platter and bearing house.
Ultra-low Friction Bearing
Made in house, the new MKV 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 which “float” the platter using air or magnetic bearings, we believe “earthing” the energy out of the platter is essential for sound purity.
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 travelling through the armboard and platter.
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
Options and Extras
Multi-Layer Platter
The Multilayer platter makes a colossal difference to the performance. Notable are increased dynamics, ultra-fast transients, deeper bass and improved definition. However all aspects of the music benefit from the multi-layer platter.
12 Inch Armboard
In general, we think that 12″ arms almost always outperform their 9.5″ counterparts. The method commonly employed by other brands, for fitting 12-inch arms is to change the armboard. However, our arm boards are integrated into the structure of the sub-chassis. To accommodate for 12″ arms, we have an option to change the Sub-chassis of the turntable. Only 12-inch Origin Live tonearms will normally fit this option – other 12-inch arm brands can be quoted on a case-by-case basis.
Dual Arm-Board
The dual armboard allows two 9.5″ Origin Live or Rega’s arms to be fitted to the deck. You might want a dual armboard if you:
• If some of your records are dirty or damaged you can play them through a cheap cartridge without needing to change it.
• You may have 2 cartridges for particular applications such as a mono cartridge for mono records.
• If you set up the arms for different record thicknesses it avoids needing to keep adjusting the VTA
• Dealers use them to enable quick comparisons of different tonearms with the same cartridge
If you are considering this option, then it is easier and saves money to order the dual armboard sub-chassis with the deck and not at a later date.
