There has been an increase in interest in vinyl records over the last few years. Many people have large collections of LPs which they would like to play again. And anyone with a good turntable knows that the sound you get from vinyl is superior to that from CDs.

A very informative article on vinyl record players is called "High Fidelity Pickups". There's also a Basic Guide to Phono Cartridges by Ortofon and their Advanced Phono Cartridge Guide.

In this section we firstly have TOOLS to help you adjust and maintain your record playing equipment.

Then we have the highly acclaimed Disc Doctor CLEANING products to let you hear just how good vinyl can be.

The job of PHONO CARTRIDGES is a difficult one. Following the torture track of a groove in a vinyl record requires incredibly precise engineering. This is the source of the music, any improvements here will be amplified through the whole system. The Music Maker, Ortofon and Garrott cartridges are widely praised.

The job of TONEARMS is to hold the cartridge in the correct position on the record at the right pressure and allow it to follow the track properly. This means incredibly low bearing friction and careful choice of materials to avoid resonances. Origin Live have several superb models and provide upgrades to the popular Rega arms.

The TURNTABLES have to rotate the platter at exactly 33rpm, and not add any vibration or motor noise to the information that the cartridge is retrieving from the groove. Tolerances have to be miniscule, and materials and engineering to the highest standards. Origin Live are a world leader in turntable manufacture and upgrades. We also sell the Moth Alamo turntables (made by Rega) and the popular Pro-Ject range.

UPGRADES and modifications to popular turntables such as Linn Sondek, and Rega will help you obtain improved sound without the cost of a complete replacement.
