Martin - can I ask what the base plate did in terms of SQ? I was tempted to get one but Mike said it raises the bearing and hence the platter by 3 mm and as I'm using the VA platter and really don't want it raised up for aesthetic reasons I didn't get one. The KAB wax definitely makes the bass taughter - fast and complex percussion and flamenco has better timing and attack

It did pretty much the same as you claim for the wax: tightened up the bass. The height is a non-issue with Mike's ETP platter.
Interesting - that's what I reckoned it would do. Yes I can see from piccies of the MN platter how it sits but I do like my copper plated VA platter - I think I'd have to demo one before punting that much dollar as I'm not sure I can wring much more out of the Technics

You cant "demo" one as you need to make quite significant modifications to your plinth. It's a "suck it and see" modifcation.
Yes, it's definitely not for the faint-hearted and requires complete dismantling and accurate drilling of the chassis. If you bond it, too, there is no way back.
I have the Mike New bearing and it has not worked for me. This is contrary to most reports, so I am still working out why this could be. I will post again when I have some conclusions.
Ah ha! Hadn't appreciated that. Does the same apply to the Funk platter? I seem to remember a thread mentioning that the Funk platter didn't fit on the MN bearing

Do you mean physically, or it hasn't yielded improvements for you?Quote:
