Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone?


Just wondering if I could get some feedback from the Audiogon community, on anyone that has tried the upgrades  for Linn Sondek LP-12, that Origin Live has on their web page, and how they compare to others in the same price range, Im particularly interested in the Motor and DC power supply?
Thanks

@jasonbourne52  If you get the opportunity to hear what the various upgrades have elicited over the many years since your LP12 was new, i highly recommend you do so. You may be surprised at how far the table has come since your vintage.
Another thread wherein naysayers with no experience with the LP12 are happy to come on and put their 2 cents in!
Mijostyn, maybe I should go on Sota Sapphire threads and post about how the Linn from this century can ’handily thump it’...even though I have no experience with the current Sota Sapphire and last owned a Sota Sapphire back in the 80’s?
I have no experience with the Origin Live aftermarket products, so I have refrained from coming here, but I suspect that the Linn upgrades are at least as good, and I like keeping my table Linn based. The Linn upgrades are all well worth what they do...with the new Karousel bearing being a tremendous upgrade and fundamental.
Now back to the naysayers who have never heard any LP12 ( at least for the last 40 years..and maybe not even then) telling us to buy their favorite table ( insert Crossley, or its ilk here !).
@jasonbourne52 Since you own a stock LP12 ( not sure what that is...presumably you mean a LP12 Majik version)... why would you not believe that the Akurate model and/or the Klimax model are not superior? There are significant upgrades that Linn has done to the table over the years to increase its resolving ability and therefore its SQ. If you are happy with your status quo, that’s fine, just don’t naysay the upgrades, as they are truly that.
