Cheap upgrade for michell gyro

[gwernaffield]

the acrylic platters were made because it is solid 48mm when completed in thickness, and NOT like the michell orbe doughnut , with a large hole in the center that means the platter is reduced from 60mm to 20mm, also we were told over years that the Michell Platters were as close to vinyl as possible , but now they have to be impedance matched ??? , the acrylic platters are machined from a solid block , this also means their is a choice in the market place, you have the opportunity to buy a product that is solid or one that is glued and melted together and machined , like the suspension , the PSU , and the Armboards there are now choices, some people will always want to know why you did not go to michell, but also cannot answer what is impedance matching ,and why all of a sudden the old platter which is supposed to be as close to Vinyl as possible now needs to be upgraded , with one with a piece of cork to hide the new way they have been machined,

there is a trick to the oil i have been using on my odyssey, i mixed the zx1 with SYNTHETIC SILICONE GREASE WITH TEFLON,50g TIN 2HT PLASTIC SAFE LOW FRICTION, it makes a Vaseline type lubricant , that ends up thin enough to go up the hole, but still lubricates the bearing , i also used to pack the rear of the bearing ball in the cone part , to act like a vibration absorbent , it seems to make the bearing a lot quieter , although it is very quiet now, i know of several people who are trying this , the bearing no longer starts up dry ,
