The Hidden Problem Plaguing Your HiFi | Origin Live

Why does your vinyl sound harsh, veiled or flat? It could be hidden ground noise. David and Mark Baker from Origin Live explain this common but overlooked problem affecting most hi-fi systems — and introduce their new solution: the Ground Anchor, developed with Puritan Audio. They reveal how mains ripple, Wi-Fi, switch-mode power supplies, and RF interference quietly contaminate your ground, creating harshness, muddiness and a loss of clarity, especially on delicate tonearm cables. Discover why modern mains is far noisier than it used to be, why vinyl has a natural advantage, and how a simple grounding fix can deliver a more natural sound. : Explore the Ground Anchor → https://www.originlive.com/hi-fi/ground-anchor/ : Browse Tonearms & Turntables → https://www.originlive.com/ 📧 Need system advice?
