Lewm,
Not offended at all. I have learnt a lot from the various verbal jousts. I'm a great believer in learning what not to do is equally as valuable if not more so in learning what to do.
I dont dislike the SP10mk3, for me the jury is out until I can hear one in my own system. Its on my to do list.
The SP10mk3 upon which Alberts latest mods are based, last I heard it, is mounted in an acrylic/lead/acrylic sandwhich, runs an ET2 heavily modified with custom acrylic manifold & other tweaks, and Shelter 901. The main issue for me are the speakers, Acoustat 2+2 heavily modded in a room that is barely 10ft square. The system in question for me lacks timing, cohesion and transparency but as you know this is a sum of the parts and I would not necessarily ascribe this to the TT.
Albert in an earlier post alluded to power supply mods, and not including the bearing mods, hence the confusion. I cant give you any more insight, but in terms of product improvement in general, you just keep working on the weakest points. It would appear that the latest mods as you mentioned above are more around stiffening up main chassis and mounts.
It would seem to me that reviewing the Kaneta and Cotter mods are quite thought provoking. Looking at the cross section Halcro provided a link to indicates that perhaps opportunites exist to not only stiffen up internal mounts, but decouple or eliminate as much as possible from the main bearing and motor.
