Spindle oil

Bose may not have invented it, but maybe they'll be the first to impliment it in a manner that is both effective and user friendly. After all, with all of the profit margin that they make on their plastic products using the lowest grade materials, they can surely afford to invest in quite a bit of R&D. It's obvious that they aren't re-investing the funds that they make off of audio into improving their audio products, so why not shovel it into another line of products all-together? Sean

Ummm ... I use Wet Platinum. It's a silicone based "personal" lubricant. The stuff is hard to wash off even with hot water and soap ... and it's the most slippery stuff I've ever touched. Millenium ID also works well. And with what you've got left over after applying it to your spindle ....

Seriously, it's what I use. It decreased start-to-speed time, and it reduced the noise floor.

When I purchased my Oracle MK4, there was no bearing oil sent with it. I contacted Oracle, and the brother of the designer, who now runs the company, told me that Mobil 1, 5W30 synthetic, was the oil I should use.
