Please Note that in the interests of secure packing you may find that some parts of your kit turntable are pre assembled. Congratulations on choosing the Origin Live Ultra turntable kit. You now have one of the finest sounding turntables available at any price - not only will it provide an extraordinary level of high performance but also reliability and low maintenance. - Page 4 fully read the manual or degradation will result. For example some people expect all bolts to be fully tightened but testing has shown this to have a significant degrading effect. Building a turntable will be relatively easy for some and a challenge for others. If at first things appear difficult, give yourself time to think clearly and you will invariably find ways of accomplishing the objective.

T u r n t a b l e a s s e m b l y Preparation When you unpack the deck, check that you have all the parts listed in the parts list. Undo the 2 transit bolts which hold the sub-chassis onto the topboard of the turntable plinth – see diagram below to identify the transit bolts. -
Page 7: Fit The Switch And Dc Regulator Board To The Plinth
Please read the following section before handling the dc regulator board The boards are always tested and working when they leave Origin live however there is a failure rate that occurs at the point of installation and which we replace freely. Some of the components on the dc regulator board are highly sensitive to static discharge - so please observe the following - once the board is installed it is extremely reliable but installing does need care or the board may not work. -

This ensures that the arm goes all the way down into the sleeve. It is NOT recommended to place the large serrated washer (supplied with Origin Live OL1 arms or modification kits) under the large base nut as this does not work well with metal armboards. -
Page 11: Setting The Motor
Please note that very occasionally the bearing house will not be truly vertical due to slight variations of the thread pickup on the nuts. It is purely a matter of trial and error to get this right by rotating the nuts and bearing house slightly. Aim to get the platter parrallel with the arm-board in at least the plane that affects cartridge “azimuth”. - Page 12 until marks on the ring appear stationary while the record is rotating. It sometimes helps to stare at infinity whilst doing this as the marks become easier to see. You can see the strobe effect in florescent light although an ordinary bulb held about 2 feet from the strobe disc will also work fine.
- Page 13 warm up properly and then the motor should run at it's correct speed but only when the stylus is on the record. It is highly preferable to keep the transformer plugged in at all times (unless you are away on holiday) because it takes a good 15 minutes to warm up from cold and run correctly.
- Page 14 Introduction Rega arms and Origin Live arms require mounting dimensions such that the centre of the platter to the centre of arm hole is approx 223mm plus or minus 2mm tolerance and the hole diameter for the arm is 24mm to 25 mm.
- Page 15 NOTE If you are fitting a Rega or Origin Live Arm to a kit that has the optional sliding VTA adjuster then you will only need the sliding aluminium sleeve VTA adjuster, which is clamped in place by the single grub in the arm vta adjuster. None of the large washers or the large nut, if they have been supplied, are needed.

become detached if excessive force is used to manipulate them. Arm & cartridge set up Fit the cartridge (if not fitted already) Fit the cartridge to the arm using an alignment gauge and ensure the headshell wires are bent so that they are clear of the record surface. - Page 17 (see “diagram showing threaded bearing house arrangement”). If you have the Origin Live VTA sliding adjuster – Raise and lower the arm in the aluminium sleeve and then clamp it in position via the set screw in the side of the VTA housing (i.e the sleeve is forced in to grip the arm’s threaded base).
- Page 18 Notes A detailed description of Cartridge set up and care is included in the end sections of this manual. Please note that the occasional rewired arm can make a slight “rustling” noise through the speakers when it is lifted across the record. This should not be a cause for concern as it is only caused by microphony of the internal litz cable - under normal playing conditions this is inaudible.
- Page 19 groove displacements of the order of a few millionths. (That’s like splitting a hair into one thousand pieces.) Every bit of motion or vibration allowed at this level can be heard enormously amplified through your speakers. For this reason it is good to set up the turntable and arm correctly so that the audio cartridge can do it's job properly.
- Page 20 Mounting Mount the hi-fi cartridge in the headshell if this is not done already. This is best done with the hi-fi cartridge stylus guard in place but it may be necessary to remove it during at least one phase of the installation. If you do, replace it as soon as possible.
- Page 21 damage is actually caused by mistracking in the middle-to-high frequencies with too little tracking force rather than with too heavy. If you’re getting mistracking at the low (lightest) end of the range and yet the low range is generally sounding the best (and on moderate signals, not heavy passages), then chances are you have either a dirty stylus, a bad record, an accumulation of crud in your cartridge, or a cartridge that’s getting old.

Proper care and maintenance of Hi-Fi cartridges & records Care of hi-fi cartridges Replace your cartridge when due - hi-fi cartridges have a lifespan for their cantilever suspensions and stylus needles. This will vary from manufacturer and type of cartridge as well as other factors like the cleanliness of your records and the care you take of the cartridge. - Page 23 ORIGIN LIVE, Unit 5, 362b Spring Road, Sholing,, Southampton, SO19 2PB U.K. Tel:- 02380 578877 Fax:- 02380 578877 Owner:- Mark Baker C.Eng, BSc(Hons)MRINA e mail: originlive@originlive.com web site: http://www.originlive.com...
