I tried Mobile, can't remember the weight and/or if it was synthetic now. The Motul, is designed for racing engines. I bought mine at a local cycle shop.
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.

I've tried three different bearing materials in my TT. Started with stainless steel then went to "Alumina Ceramic" & finally to "Silicon-Nitride Ceramic". Although the sound quality increased going from SS to "Alumina Ceramic", it increased much more (similar to Slaw's description) going to "Silicon-Nitride Ceramic". I've added a link to the bearing I'm currently using below. https://www.mcmaster.com/ceramics/fracture-and-thermally-shock-resistant-silicon-nitride-ceramic-bal... |
