Can't imagine the Clearaudio sounding better than a properly operating Classic. What sort of problems were you having? The Well Tempered design is far from finnicky... especially the platter bearing which is simply ingenious to say the least. If you need parts, then sadly that could be trouble since Stanalog has been reported to be impossible to deal with and maybe even MIA.
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
