Delighted with my MN bearing having had both stock and Vantage bearings in the past - decided not to get a MN bearing plate purely because I don't want the platter raised up as I like the look of it in the original position - however, a small but audible improvement is to be had by using KAB support wax - care needed to ensure the MN bearing is fully seated in the bearing well so judicious use of a hair dryer on the wax - only takes about 20 minutes to do but rewarded by tighter bass and timing.

Interesting, Stephen. I've never heard of KAB support wax.

Hi Martin.
www.kabusa.com and go to their Technics page - the support wax was hugely beneficial to the stock bearing so thought I'd try it with the MN. The MN is deeper than the stock and the 3 bolt heads are just above the base of the bearing well so need to really make sure the wax does not cause it to rise up or be uneven - it provides a solid and uniform support for the bearing housing for a couple of quid which does firm up the bottom end
