Balls.....


Who here has upgraded their turntable platter bearing with a ceramic ball? What were your impressions of the upgrade? Worth it, not worth it?  I have a VPI non-inverted unit. It appears there is a gentleman in New Jersey that performs the upgrade.

He is referring to Steve at VAS, he also does business through ebay  as VAS, he retips, rebuilds and builds cartridges as well as the bearing replacements. I have used him a few times and am very satisfied with his work. Enjoy the music
Thank you slaw for sharing the your real world experiment as well as the results. It seems a no-brainer for the cost/benefits received. 
I did a number of transactions with Steve some years ago when I was running VPI, reputable business.
Slaw, thank you for the link. Shall have to research the oil as well. Right now full synthetic 10-30 Mobil is what’s being used in this one.
