Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable

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.

@mijostyn, speed drift is quite common with origin live dc motor.  See the faq https://www.originlive.com/support/hi-fi-problems-troubleshooting/dc-turntable-motor-problems/

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.  

@mijostyn, I agree 100% with you, and that is what I dumped my origin live modified LP12.
