and the Micro Seiki RX 5000 I bought new, then sold about 15 years ago and recently bought back two months ago , with its bearing in its original lube untouched or opened still moving a 36 pound platter effortlessly and quietly as the day I originally bought it new decades ago,... it gives me reason to not really concern myself with what leaves you unconvinced, biased or unable to accept . I use the proof every day , Even the well executed inverted bearing in my Orbe Se for a lighter suspended table shows the rewards of a quieter and low friction design and well made bearing. Any of the over 40 tables I have owned or built over the last 4+ decades that shined the best to me, had better built , quieter low friction bearings. Those that were not as close, needed massaging to reduce the noise, lesser point of fulcrum contacts make, as well as other poor designs and sources of noise.
