The Mike New Technics Bearing

Fitted the Mike New bearing yesterday without any problems. Mods to date are Herbie mat, Isonoe feet, Timestep power supply, SME 309. Either the bearing is the best upgrade yet or it's just letting the others talk. Awesome.

Interesting reports guys.

I am getting fed up prospecting knackered SP-10's in the hope I may get a good one. This bearing is getting tempting...

Hi Steve

I'm not sure your arms are compatible with the SL-1200. If you want a good SP-10, at a price, I can supply.

Regards

I'm guessing you are probably not sure because you have not heard it?;)
Was playing my deck against Mr Coco's SP-10 tonight through his LCR phonostage, 308b's and GRF's. The deck / PL-71 arm / SPU were doing wonderful things indeed.
Ultimately not as accurate as the SP-10 / SMEV12 / IO perhaps but very very pleasing musically. Listened late in to the evening...

Steve, that's interesting. Are you coming to Scalford Hall? If so, could you bring your deck? I'd love to hear it with either the Pioneer arm or the air-bearing jobby :)

Dave, I'd remain open-minded - I'm sure there are other arms out there that could be added to the 'holistic list' for the SL-1200 ;)

The only way to find out is to try them and see!

Hi Marco

How about an Ekos or even an Ekos se ' sacrilege maybe but i would love to hear one on a Fully modded techie with the Mike new bearing naturally .

PS the Ekos is the thing i miss most about my old LP12 ' in fact i been thinking about it this morning:wah:

How about an Aro for a bit of unipivot grooviness?:)

Yeah I will try to come along and the deck / PSU is doable compared to the GRF's:)

I wrote a fuller report of the evening with the SP-10 on the wam.
Will cut and paste in a new thread for AOS'ers...
