@badbruno I am not attempting at deterring a TT Purchase in any way, why would I, as there is a decent TT collection in my possession as I like to have at hand the TT of interest and duplicates.
I have learnt from long past experiences and those more recent, that a TT in original condition is able to be impressive, but when certain areas of the TT's mechanical design is redesigned the Model of TT with the overhaul is always selected to supersede in use the original Spec' Model.
The TT I have referred to is not a conjecture or an ' I Think ' when it comes to being accurate in the report that has been shared about mechanical interfaces. I have strong suspicion the Stator Bowl moves and have supplied design info to rigidly secure the stator bowl. I have experienced the Bearing Slop on all owned models as well as the wobbly platter. I have had it confirmed from others about the Bearing Slop, as options to correct this has been under discussion.
I have seen the TT referred to with a Tonearm in the current market can be for sale near £4K, for this reason I will refrain from making the Model Known directly.
The PS X9 was a limited number production as an attempt to gain access into Recording Studios and Radio Stations.
The Model referred to by myself is the consumer version of the PS X9. Investigation will show if? there are parts shared on both models. If? the Stator Bowl - Bearing Housing and Assembly - Platter Spindle / Platter Connection are the same, then one needs to know, all things shared by myself are likely to be discovered.
FYI, I am all for individuals listening to their Vinyl Albums on any Analogue Source Set Up they choose to use, I am a total advocate and have had great experiences listening to LP's on Analogue Sources costing between approx' £300ish - £25Kish where the Sources are used on systems I am familiar with.
If further experiences of Analogue Sources are recollected on systems unknown, I could easily state, the Analogue Sources listened to can be close to £100K in value at the higher cost end.
My interest that runs parallel with my interest in listening to recorded music from Vinyl, is the mechanical interfaces that can be created for a TT > Tonearm>Cart' to have an optimised interface.
Subjective evaluation is what I use, what those do, who carry out the work is not inquired about. l compare old version with new version and make my own decisions about what becomes the go to TT.
