Hi guys just a wee post from Scotland about an excellent upgrade by a U.K. Company called Tiger Paw.
After years of development they have produced a neat pair of magnetic discs that thread around the bearing housing below and the stem of the platter on the underside of the inner platter (secured with an O ring) above. VPI and Clearaudio both use magnetic bearings. In the case of this one "Tranquility" it reduces the weight on the bearing to 10% of the original.
The sonic result fantastic ... more real, more dynamic, even quieter. Much more like music in both rhythm and musical feel and purity of tone. Elements of the music sound just like that ... not "Hi Fi details"
Price £399. Bargain! (I have no connection with TP other than satisfied customer.)
