Verdier Upgrade Kit

Dear Ledoux, the kit is NOT available yet. However - the asking price is not really inexpensive..... to say the least. The kit contains of simple mechanical parts which do not involve any significant labor or parts costs at all. The principle is fairly simple. The idea is good (if you really WANT the ball under the platter) and it does give you precise alignment of current production Platine Verdiers (that is - all manufactured and sold after 1992).

Ledoux,

The best upgrade on my Platine Verdier was a battery power supply. I bought one from Graham Tricker (GT Audio) who is the UK Verdier distributor (www.gtaudio.com). Increases dynaimic range with inky black silence on quiet passages.

Yes, from the face of it the upgrade kit looks really 'generic' considering the price!

The callas site is also providing a new 'belt'. On this point I would like your opinion. I have now switched to the rubber belt originally provided by Verdier and stopped using the thread. But I have read that using the thread is the way to go!?

Charlie,
How is the built quality of the power supply? Any practical use issues we should know about? I have thought of upgarding the power supply and/or motor for a while. What made you go with the Brit kit as opposed to several of the US motors? Never able to make up my mind.
