The Mike New Technics Bearing

[Mike_New]

Hi Folks,
So now you can order you shiny new MN bearing direct from David and get it in a matter of days with no extra costs associated with duties or taxes. Essentially Dave has put his cash up front together with myself to fund the initial production cost of the next batch of 25 Bearings in the interests of all SL1200 devotees. So support Dave and place your orders ASAP.

Well done, both. Keeping that bearing available keeps the modded Techie alive

Good news David

Hope you run out of the first batch soon !

Well it's take a while but they are in the UK now, I have paid duty and import taxes so the bearings will be with me tomorrow.

It took me about 10 minutes to fit the new bearing to one of my own techies which had a vantage audio modded bearing in, my god all that has been spouted about Mike's bearing is true. Where does that extra bass come from? Colins speakers do bass very well indeed but it's now cavernous. Worth every penny even if I did get it at trade price! I have to say buy Daft Punks new LP if you have not already done so, its stupendously good on a top flight deck.

Here is mine before I started the transformation!

Hi Folks,
I was reflecting this afternoon over a good wine, on a few numbers.
Since this thread was generated in January 2010 there have been over 54,000 visits.
I have no idea how many of these would be re-visits perhaps Marco would know. But assuming say 90%, then this would mean that there have been over 5,000 visits by different people who have an interest in the ol SL1200, or maybe some of those are just looking.
Of these 5,000 people only 250 have been lucky enough to experience what the Bearing can actually do for the SL1200
interesting eh, what are all the others doing?

We've said it many times before, but the Mike New bearing takes a very good base design deck and turns it into something very special; no reworked Technics bearing is going to compete with this. To hold one of Mike's bearings in your hand is to feel true workmanship (see his avatar) and to turn it is to experience true zero play and very tight tolerances. Once you've installed it, you'll never look back. Combine it with one of the best direct drive motors ever created and you'll understand why some of us are passionate about the Technics experience.

Martin is spot on. Those of you thinking of modding a 12++ need the Mike New bearing as a definite.

Maybe we need a exclusive " Mike New " club

That way we can keep out all the " Non club members "
