@big_greg,

The material came in for the dual pivot upgrade today and I have to say I’m very pleased.

I’ve noticed all along that the metal pivot riding against the metal plate could be heard on quiet records between songs. It just seemed an area ripe for improvement. I thought about using ski wax for a long time but just didn’t seem like a long term solution.

If you’re familiar, PEEK is a plastic used for the cup pressed into the 3D arm for the pivot to ride on. I found some PEEK film with an adhesive backing that is just .0002" thick. Clean the dual pivot plate then peel and stick. What could be easier?

Immediately, everything became clearer. When that happens everything else improves.

If you’re interested, I’ll send you a piece.

Steve
