Verdier Upgrade Kit


Has anyone got the upgrade kit to the Verdier La Platine by Callas Audio from the Netherlands? I am very intrigued as it addresses the spindle of the TT.

Ledoux,

I use the thread drive and not the supplied rubber belt. Apparently that's what is recommended by Verdier.

The build quality of Graham Tricker's battery PSU is excellent. He also makes TRON amplifiers (www.tron-electric.co.uk). All his kit is built superbly and all of it by him and no-one else.

If you look at his website here

http://www.gtaudio.com/forsale.html

you'll see his demo PV fo sale with his battery PSU and custom solid alloy motor housing. If you email or call him (+44 1895 833099), he might be prepared to sell you the PSU ± housing separately.

Ledoux,

The best upgrade on my Platine Verdier was a battery power supply. I bought one from Graham Tricker (GT Audio) who is the UK Verdier distributor (www.gtaudio.com). Increases dynaimic range with inky black silence on quiet passages.

Marco,

I still use the stock motor, but with a GT Audio Battery supply. The DC supply has made a very noticeable difference. I have considered going for a new motor unit, but I'm very happy as things stand.
