Well, Dave Cawley has been hinting strongly about a forthcoming bearing mod from Sound HiFi. Hopefully he will comment here.

Isn't Dave Cawley working on a version of this for the UK contingent?
The original bearing ain't that bad as many are thrashed for thousands of hours with little to no lubrication, but anything to further quieten it from its already impressive levels must be a good thing IMO
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Any chance of a teeny hint on how much it's likely to cost and whether it's going to be a DIY fit?Originally Posted by Dave Cawley

It is a total DIY fit. Taking only 10 minutes at the most, and everything done from the top, so you don't even need to move the turntable. All you need is a Philips screwdriver.
The spindle is a solid single piece of polished 303 Stainless Steel and the bearing is polished PB102 Phosphor Bronze. A ceramic ball and PTFE thrust pad are fitted. The whole assembly is in a captive oil bath.
The retail price including UK VAT will be £175.00 and the A.O.S. price £150 or less if bought as part of a package.
They could be as little as 3 weeks away?
Regards
Dave
