Smart move. First mod I ever did was to the motor of my Basis, and that led to the Teres Audio Motor Pod which was a significant upgrade. Then a whole series of upgrades to the motor power supply, motor, housing, controller. Its nice having a modular sort of turntable design that allows these kinds of projects. I'm sure Max put a very good motor in the Rock but experience has taught me they can all be improved upon. I bet you will be impressed with significant improvements in the power and drive of your music, with better bass, greater detail, and a more powerful yet more relaxed less fatiguing sound.
That is a pretty cool table. You should write it up and let us all know how it goes.
Okay, okay last night it was:
The Final Cut
Puttin' It Down
