TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good?


I have stumbled across a new LINN LP12 enhancement called TIGER PAW TRANQUILITY.

In essence, it uses magnetic discs and is said to relieve the bearing of 90% of the platter weight - so a lighter load means a quieter bearing.

Online endorsements seem to be overwhelmingly in favour.

It's pricey for a non-LINN part at about GBP400 + Shipping, but seems like a great idea.

Just wondering if anyone here has tried it?  Any feedback?

Anybody here using a Radikal D power supply with the Tranquility?

@mre28m5-- Why did you skip the Cirkus bearing mod? This mod is IMO a real game changer...gives you a lot of what you described in your post above.

I’m still on the fence about the Tiger Paw Tranquility mod...too many naysayers around, plus I don’t want to have any issues with the speed control...which is now really amazing.
davey- I have the Radikal D power supply and have found no problems with speed control utilizing the Tranquility....
@varyat 

Thanks. Does the Radikal D recognize the speed in the same amount of time as before the mod?
davey- I can honestly say that I have not heard any speed fluctuations with the Tranquility in place..zero..nada
@varyat

That’s good. Unfortunately a few of the other users have reported problems with this issue after some amount of use. I would question whether the magnetic field lessens over time ( if this is possible??), resulting in some slight slippage?? Personally, I’m going to sit this one out until there is more definitive feedback on this issue..and after some amount of time has gone by. In the meantime, I will certainly be interested in following the various threads etc., regarding this mod.
