MN bearing/MN platter, a match made in australia
Yeah and Amen to that DaveO old mate As I have and use the MN copper ali platter, MN bearing, and MN bearing plate I'm wondering how this will gell with Martin T's TT especially as he has super Araldited his MN bearing plate to the chassis, just curious? I'm sure it won't affect sound quality performance but will emphasise the visual aspect of the larger platter lamination joint at the periphery of Funk Mk2? Wonder again if this will be machined away on the final marketed platter, just curious again should be for the price ? As for the flashy lettering on the side, no not for me it might distract from landing the stylus accurately .

By the way I ditched my Achromat in favour of Oyaide's BR-12 antivibration fine grained tungsten mixed butyl rubber mat with tuning holes arranged in spiral pattern with tapered structure angled at 1.0deg from centre circle to edge for correction of any possible record warping. A record stabilizer/weight of more than 300g is recommended to fit tightly to the angled surface of the BR-12 mat. I use the Furatech stabilizer weighing in at 350g, a perfect combinational match with the MN copper ali platter to my ears and within my system. I think all are available from MCRU, yes a plug/shill (?) I know but Arthur K/Funk does get a goodly slice of the publicity cake? Mike New if you are reading this try one, the BR-12 its half the price of an Achromat to boot. By the way Dave/MCRU made me aware of the BR-12 at the recent Whittlebury Show.

With the final new psu upgrade in place I've reached final destination with my 1210. Ciao.
