I'll do the comparison tomorrow at Martin's when we swap T/Ts, using the same MN platter, which should be interesting.

If the base plate makes a noticeable improvement, I'll order one from Mike. Martin will also get the chance to ascertain whether the copper top plate on my platter makes a worthwhile sonic improvement.

Lots of Techy and T/T shenanigans tomorrow, so it should be fun!

Marco.
This is one write up I can't wait to read. It would be good if both you and Martin did seperate reviews without recourse to the other's notes and impressions?

I paid a 'sticky beek' visit to the holistic otherworld today without the aide of a medium and the boss man was mightly pleased that Hi Fi World had given an enthusiastic okay to the TS bearing and PSU. See FEB 2011 page 45 where DP replied to Michael Moore's letter. I wonder if that was THE Michael Moore who had made searching films of the George W Bush administration years and was now turning his attention towards audiophilia? By the way what happened to the holistic approach?
