DIY Question: Well Tempered Bearing Cup Upgrade


I purchased a Well Tempered Classic this summer, which despite all the hassles in getting it to run well, has reignited my passion for music, especially analog music.
After getting fed up with the Classic I purchased a Clearaudio Concept in order to have a deck that was more reliable. I really like the design features that Clearaudio uses, and the sound is very good.

I still have the Classic and am wondering if I could put a Clearaudio bearing/spindle/platter on the Well Tempered plinth? I like the Clearaudio design better than the Well Tempered so I'd like to combine them to get the best of both worlds, since the Classic does a better job at isolating noise/vibration. Any experts here who would tell me where to start, or not? Thx

Do not even try to mix the two.....either find someone very knowledgeable about the Classic and get it back up to speed, or go with the inferior Clearaudio....once the Classic is corrected, it will easily outperform the other....
you might try the Well Tempered forum on Audio Circle and see if someone there can help out.
Good luck....
