Balls.....

Who here has upgraded their turntable platter bearing with a ceramic ball? What were your impressions of the upgrade? Worth it, not worth it?  I have a VPI non-inverted unit. It appears there is a gentleman in New Jersey that performs the upgrade.

It's a table I designed, machined, & assembled.

I'm glad others had positive experiences, I didn't.

I would like to have the ball bearing replaced on my VPI. What was the problem with Steve Leunge? Can you elaborate?

20+ CONFIRMATION BIAS responses!!!

Anyone have any measurements?
  • lower rumble
  • less wow / flutter
  • better speed consistency
Anyone hear the same thing just by removing the ball and replacing in a different orientation?

Anyone do any analysis over time?
