    Hi All after a day spent trying to upgrade the upgrade, i have given up on that, they are the best i can make them at this moment in time,
    But in the way of trying to stop the microphone affect which is a design flaw of the suspension it self and the Turntable, i think i am just about there , it would involve the following 3x 20mm x6 mm duro50 sorbothane washers with a 10mm hole in the center , 3 31x1.5 cross section o-rings silicone duro 50 , disassemble the pylon , remove the ptfe washer fit a red silicon o-ring , and then slide the sorbothane washer on top of the base fit the adjuster through the middle , and assemble the pylon back together , then fit the lot back onto the chassis, when level , push the sorbothane washer onto the top of the base, so now it is touching the base and the adjuster , job done, the bearing needs to be tight to the chassis to stop it moving from sided to side, the washer on the top of the bearing did not work on my deck as i found it caused the platter to wobble up and down , but it did not do it with the ptfe one, as for the pylons them selves i think i could never go back to the springs, regardless of the microphone affect , and cannot do any more to the Turntable , it now sounds better to me than ever , but we all hear differently , what is fine by me may be crap by others, even a change in the o-rings , adding rubber pads, adding string , etc all will have an effect , some positive and some rubbish , but at least now we have the option to do that , where with the springs we did not and facing hundreds or thousands to get a better turntable when all it needed was the pylons replacing in the first place,
    all the best peter
