Introduction (read carefully)
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.
To achieve the full level of performance it is critical that this instruction manual is followed and read fully. There
are aspects of this turntable which run contrary to what you may be expect so before altering anything it is
important to have 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. Most of the
kit demands little expertise – if you think anything is beyond your capability then you can either ask a friendly
dealer to do the job for a small fee or get a friend to do it.
These instructions are written to cater for everyone from beginners to experts in kit assembly and vinyl replay.
Some sections may therefore appear lengthy as they need to cater for all potential questions and levels of
expertise. When reading the instructions refer to the various diagrams for part names and clarity.
The kit will take between 1 to 4 hours to assemble depending on your expertise. The dc regulator electronics
initially encounter speed drift when first started and so will need at least 4 hours to run in before the speed can
be finally set with accuracy.
We wish you an enjoyable time not only in the building but most of all in the end result.
