MN bearing/Timestep bearing
Hi.
I don't post very often, but am following, with great interest, this ongoing argument about bearings.
Having used both (and still owning both) the Timestep bearing and the Mike New bearing in my Technics SL1200 I say that the Mike New bearing is sonically far superior. I swapped the bearings out a couple of days ago and was dismayed at the loss of focus with the Timestep bearing. On refitting the Mike New bearing there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality. As far as I am concerned it is a no brainer. This is with a SME V arm with a Denon 103r.
May I also add that I am now utterly confused as to which path to take with my Technics. Do I go for the MN platter? or stay as I am?
Regards
John
