I should be able to apply this solution to the stock GL75 when I get the Jolyon bearing .
I found that every time I've applied a modification to mine that it changed the SQ , subtly but audibly . These were usually small improvements in focus and micro - detail . All worthwhile IMO .
Glad your work is paying dividends Andy but sorry that this great thread is coming to an end .
Enjoy mate
Brian, I think that you will see big improvements with a 12mm baltic birch plywood baseboard. Additionally you can always bolt the bearing to the base board which is extremely easy to do. It's just a matter of cutting down some M8 thread to the relevant length, buying a couple of M8 nuts and washers, drilling 8mm hole into the base
board and job done! I think you could probably do the whole thing for less than £15. The bearing is more expensive though!!! Did you change your tonearm wire?

Hopefully in the New Year I will be making a similar journey with my L75.
Thanks Keith I hope you got something from it. I'm not done yet and should be updating through next year as the new mods arise. So, I'm not signing off just yet.
