Official fix for Project TT rumble now available

The "S/E Upgrade Kit" from Pro-ject has now been launched that will put to bed, once and for all, any problems with low level rumble noise on affected Pro-ject turntables.

The kit comprising a replacement pulley and belt and rubber isolating grommets and screws costs £25 and is available from Henley Designs in the UK.

I was given access to the kit two days ago and the installation was simple, taking less than ten minutes. It is brilliant.

I have written an instruction guide and posted a full review on my blog at :

Will this "fix" void the factory warranty? I have a Pro-ject Expression III that I purchased in Aug 2011 as a demo. Motor became noisy after a couple months with a lot of listening and was replaced under warranty. What is the best way to purchase this rumble fix kit if I live in Seattle, WA USA?

TIA

Before jumping on Project, what about the motor speed fix for Rega P3 that caused it to be named a Reg P3-24. Or the multitude of upgraded power supplies and motor controllers that make an "order of magnitude" improvement in the sound of a turntable. I can expect a $300 table to need improvement. I shouldnt have to expect that from a $3000 table. I mean really, its a motor turning a platter. Why cant it come with a supply that turns it at the right speed all the time.
