What does politics have to do with Hi~Fi ?

Feet of Clay

It just dawned on me….You are right, and l get the joke now.

There IS politics in Hi-Fi

@lewm After I showed the engineer the video, he remarked that the bearing is a single point oil bearing. If I remember correctly, he mentioned that the oil is what acts as a surface for the tension between the shaft and the walls. I believe he mentioned that the shaft should not be that tight to interfere with rotational ability.

I believe it was also mentioned it is somewhat like a cam shaft sitting in an oil bearing of a car. He noticed the fact that the point was diamond hardened, stating this was a necessity for longer wear and that the precision of a reported 5 microns was also good.

Buy a Linn CD12 and no need for a fettler!

@jasonbourne71

The CD12 was great back in its heyday.

If anyone still wants one, Peter Tyson are selling one for about £4,000.

I heard it a few months ago against a Klimax DSM/3 Hub and a Klimax LP12. Sadly, the CD12 was outclassed by the newer sources.

Still, anyone one wanting to play CDs could probably do worse.
