We
list most popular Origin Live products and can order in any OL product
available. Popular items include the Structural modification kits for your
REGA arm, Threaded VTA adjuster, and the Advanced and Ultra DC motor kits.
These motor kits give excellent results, we have supplied them for Oracle,
Linn, Rega, Thorens & Blue Note turntables and every time the result has
been a great improvement to timing, focus, and dynamics over the stock motor
drive. Our SA250 tonearm features our Military one piece wiring loom with
CARDAS golden strand litz wire, and the OL end stub kit. |

the Silver in the following respects: Completely revised yoke with
higher rigidity and inertia. ORIGIN LIVE
ILLUSTRIOUS Tonearm Current arms are now in the MK
3version - these have a much higher performance due to their dual pivot
bearings and MK2 arm tube which consists of a superior alloy to the MK1. The
latest tubes are identified by their satin chrome finish as opposed to the
black tubes in the MK1 version. ORIGIN LIVE CONQUEROR

TONEARM UPGRADES
|
These
upgrades are for a standard RB250 arm, the modifications can be added to an
existing arm except for the slotted arm tube & bearing upgrade, which
needs to be specified when ordering a new tonearm. Slotted & Polished
arm tube (RB250 -300) The “slotted arm tube” upgrade is identifiable
by a highly polished silver arm tube - The upgrade involves removing the
powder coat from the arm tube which enables faster energy transmission and
prevents the arm being over damped. A slot is then machined in the underside of
the arm to reduce ringing effects. Lastly the arm tube is highly polished
giving it a very high grade appearance. Please note that internal rewiring
must be already included in your arm or ordered for this upgrade to be
possible. The effect of this upgrade is to improve the musical transparency
and incisiveness of the arm. Particularly noticeable is that notes have very
natural decay due to the reduced “ringing” effects in the arm tube. Bearing upgrade for

PHONO AMPLIFIERS

ULTRA BALANCED PHONO
STAGE Introduction
When
you play vinyl, up to 90% of your total system amplification takes place in
the phono stage. Most integrated amps and pre-amps do not have high grade
phono stages as they share the power supply with the rest of the electronics.
This is what makes investing in a high grade phono stage one of the most
effective upgrades. The Origin Live phono stage ultra is designed to vastly
improve on whatever you currently own by virtue of innovative circuit design
and employment of high grade components. It will amplify the output of all
Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges. Unlike many phono stages, it is
fully balanced, which yields a host of benefits over unbalanced phono stages
(more of this later). It also features a full range of adjustments for
capacitance and impedance loading along with a wide range of gain settings.
This flexibility means that you are able to get the very best from your
cartridge regardless of it’s make and characteristics. Sound
quality
Improvements
that the Origin Live phono stage bring to a system are dramatic - the most
immediate observation among many, will be a vastly improved speed and timing
in the music that brings you much closer to live performance. Other factors
to highlight are increased transparency, dynamics and levels of detail. It’s
highly neutral tonal balance means excellent imaging capability leading to
the 3 dimensional sound stage so appreciated by those who understand what
makes music tangible. Technical
Aspects
The
Origin Live phono stage is a high end, stand alone product, meticulously
designed and packed with innovative thinking. You can expect unrivalled sonic
qualities, with low noise and high performance that place this item well
ahead of the field. Design overview: The design emerges out of Origin Live’s
partnership with one of the foremost designers of electronics David Rusby. It
is built around a fully balanced circuit with zero feedback and passive
equalisation. Each channel is treated separately and the use of very high
quality components allows the performance of the circuit to shine through. Balanced configuration: The advantages of a balanced phono stage are extremely compelling, both in theory and auditioning. Using a balanced preamp with a phono cartridge makes a lot of sense for the same reason it makes a lot of sense to use it with a microphone: immunity from noise. The output signal from a cartridge is almost negligible compared to the signal levels coming from a tuner or CD player. Consequently, the gain (amplification level) is very high in a phono preamp. Such high levels of amplification mean that an unbalanced preamp also amplifies the noise signal from the cartridge and arm leads to relatively high levels. Contrastingly this unwanted noise is completely eliminated in a balanced system. An
additional advantage of balanced circuits is the ability to suppress much of
their own power supply noise. At each stage of the circuit, the power supply
noise is treated as a common mode signal and ignored. Balanced
configuration does not necessitate the use of XLR plugs on your arm leads -
you can continue to use your normal RCA phono plugs as these give a fully
balanced signal - you only need to connect your arm earth lead or the earth
from any arm cable screening to the earth terminal provided on the Origin
Live phono stage. To gain the full benefits of balanced
configuration it is best to use a balanced pre-amp / power amp. However, if
you do not have balanced amplifiers you will still gain benefits from a
balanced phono stage. It is worth noting that a balanced phono stage represents
a good future proof investment because if you upgrade to balanced amplifiers
later, you will save the expense of changing your phono stage. |
