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.

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?

Did it in the 70's when Oracle updated the bearing assembly.

Oracle was replaced by Goldmund in early 80's.

Goldmund disposed of in 1987.

Now only play the silver disc. Not an endorsement, just a preference.
