Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable


Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable.This is a belt driven Oracle Delphi II with Origin Live motor and Origin Live Control Board and Origin Live Power Supply.  I am guessing it can be the belt, motor, control board and /or power supply.   How do I determine what is not working?

AC motors are locked to the drive frequency, but the wall power frequency does vary a small amount over short periods.  This will manifest itself as a wavering on single notes, but will not show up as speed drift over longer periods of time.  Long term speed drift is caused by changes in the belt and bearing lubrication over time and changes in stylus drag from the beginning of a record to the end.

The speed of DC motors is more difficult to control than AC synch motors.  Even with tight DC regulation of the voltage, the motor speed will be affected by torque load and temp.  Some of the OL motor controllers compensate for speed changes with load variation (stylus drag), but without temp compensation, the speed of the motor will still wander.
A synthesized PSU will lock the speed of an AC synch motor to a quartz reference, but as I posted above, this does not guarantee constant PLATTER speed.  Even with perfect motor speed control, the platter speed will drift over time.
I had stopped listening to albums because the speed fluctuations drove me nuts.  It was very audible.

I finally bit the bullet and sent it back to Sota for a new motor, board, speed control and maglev bearing.  The sound is now amazing.  I can clearly see that it runs exactly at 33.3 and it sounds just as good.

My advice, stop playing games with your table.  Either fix it or replace it.  DC motors get old.
I had to replace the controller on my Origin Live table when the 45RPM setting became unstable.  The speed was all over the map from extremely slow to chipmunk fast.
Testpilot, well then I guess origin live has some work to do. A turntable should be a set it and forget it device. Drifting motors and controllers is not acceptable in this day and age. Neither my SOTA or SME vary at all, cold, warm, upside down or sideways. The SOTA I check maybe once a year and it might drift a little. The SME not at all.
