Your advice pls ....

Post by minoman »

Hi hello,
I have an Opus3 Continou LP record player that is experiencing some signs of ageing ... as I do :-)

The motor is not behaving well. My thougts is pending between getting a new one from Opus3 or aiming for an Origin Live upgrade? Any thoughts and recommendations you'll like to share with me?

Appreciated ....
Regards/Michael

If you are talking an Origin Live DC motor kit I would recommend avoiding it. I haven't played around with one for a couple of years but I have worked on three different turntables that had one installed. One was an LP12, one was an Origin Live and one was a custom turntable. All three had audible drift in speed in a single track. Readjust the controller and then it would drift again. If you want to keep your turntable I'd get their original replacement motor.
