VPI TNT Bearing question

Trolling the net tonight and ran across a site that showed a MK 5 bearing for the TNT which was attached to the table via a large threaded nut which screwed onto the bearing housing making the housing the equivalent of a giant bolt and nut.

Has anyone done this upgrade? Results? It was suggested that the improvement came from the different attachment method rather than any change in the bearing itself.

Thoughts and experiences?

You could also set the platter bearing into Panzerholz and just replace the entire vpi plinth with it and mounting your tone arm and cartridge would benefit substantially also.

Panzerholz is extremely effective at reducing parasitic vibrations that cause distortions.
