The interesting thing is, that all of a sudden there has been a flurry of interest and orders for some reason. Maybe everyone has decided the economic problems can be ignored.

Thing is people have to have a little harmless pleasure and enjoyment in life no point thinking about it when ya gone or nearly gone :eyebrows: As much as the bearing is a must along the Techie upgrade path, I'd say having an upgrade platter is also a must (The stock one really aint great - tap it and see, even in situe, resonant or what !) - Hence I'm very excited about receiving Mikes ETP Platter :D Very excited !

Give us a chance to get the bearing in place first robert,before emptying our wallets for us :D

What is mike's EPT platter of which you speak?

Lol, MY wallets already proper empty anyway :lol: largly due to this addictive hifi / Techie upgrade lark :D - Here's the Mike New ETP Platter I'll be recieving shortly (Mikes posting it out on Weds). Mines the same but without the label recess as I'll be using a mat with recess :)

It should be ETP actually Robert. and stands for Engineering Thermo Plastic.
of which there are many types and grades.

The big difference between my design and others, is that I use a Brass Centre Boss which is machined with the taper, also I provide two threaded lifting holes for removal.

The US. Canada, Asia, the UK and Europe.

Post 373 above has this link http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...pell=1&ct=clnk to the one I have on the way (Mine is without the label recess) Personally I prefer it's looks much more over the stock platter. It should also sonically be a fair improvement over the ringy stock platter :)

Here's my MN platter. It has a label recess and I use a felt mat with a PatheWings 480g weight.
