The Mike New Technics Bearing

[Mike_New]

Are you refering to Al or me??
Not sure about the Jesus bit I'm a non-believer myself.

Hi Al,
It's good to hear from you again.
Yes that's my problem, I continually have to make additional small batches to satisfy those people who unlike yourself,
embrace the ultimate in Bearing precision and performance.
Do go back over the 120 pages of this thread to appreciate what I am saying, and the observations of the many other informed people.

Are you implying I don't have a MN bearing

[Mike_New]

Hi Al,
Your previous post did seem to indicate that perhaps you did not have one of my Bearings.
If you do then surely that's got to be a good thing.
Of the now 320+ Bearings that have been delivered it's impossible to know all the names.

I do own a bearing and a ETP platter so yes I have supported you but as said you stance at the moment leaves a lot to be desired

*snort* This would almost be funny if it weren't so sad.

Your product may well be the best available, Mike. I had always assumed that it was. Many people simply cannot afford it, so a less expensive compromise has its appeal. The fact that you have always been so easily threatened by any alternative out there that you felt compelled to slag them at every opportunity (Applied Fidelity, Ianmac, Timestep, probably even Funk Firm) just makes you look bad. It actually discourages people from wanting to buy from you. It's bad business.

It's a pity, too. I liked that you made the spindle longer. Nobody else bothers with that (apart from Applied Fidelity which is no more due to cancer). I like some of the features of your products. They're just outside of my mod expenditure comfort zone, and your behavior is extremely distasteful and petty. A damn shame.

I am just telling it the way it is.
What happens when the brass insert in your modified bearing starts to wear as they all do.
will you put your head in the sand and pretend it's not happening??
If you prefer not to invest in a properly designed and engineered Bearing, then that is OK with me.
I am only trying to save people from spending their hard saved cash.
The vast majority of people who have my bearing have read and listened to what I have had to say in the past
and have embraced my advice.

I would love to see a back to back test of all of the bearings, just to see which one was actually "ranked" highest.

My own effort in regard to the bearings.

I am not going to revisit this though, I am done regarding Technics 1200 mods etc. The whole project took years to do and a substantial investment of my own money, when companies couldn't or wouldn't supply loan items for review.

It was an interesting project, but at times frustrating. One set of items I obtained I could not review when the company making them ceased trading, another withdrew their consent to be reviewed, and there were other issues, problems which I won't go into again. Being honest this series of reviews was the most challenging I encountered so far during the time I have been writing reviews.

I hadn't seen your review before Neil. Great work and a great effort

Thank you Robert, there is a Funk Firm Technics review and a Technics PSU review there as well.
