| Home Spindle Lube Test Sean, and this is my last word on this subject, my initial foray into this subject was to state that just because a turntable turns longer using a specific lubricant does not mean that that lubricant is superior to another lubricant as you stated.... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Sean, I have already conceded the last word to you! Why are you restating things that I have already elucidated and then claiming that you were correct all the time?You don't know the exact formula for that lubricant but I do! In fact one of the c... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Semi, when discussing the lighter load on the inverted bearing, I meant that lighter lubricant can be used, but one needs to find a way of keeping it at the bearing. My previous message might have been misleading.Bob P. | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Semi, your choice of the Teflon based grease seems judicious. There is no advantage in the Lithuim based grease, except if you expect to encounter water! It is good, however, if you want to grease your car window lift mechanism!The only comment th... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Then, Sean, I suggest that you put Teflon in the bearing, if you want the slipperiest substance known to man. If you were refering to Mobil 1 as the slipperiest substance, then you are incorrect. Using Teflon, I think that you will find that the s... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Sean,About "too heavy a lubricant being detrimental and increasing drag". The short answer is Yes! If the lubricant is too heavy and not pumpable, i.e. grease, it might not be possible for it to penetrate into the surfaces interface. Depending on ... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls, nice of you to condescend to explain to us filter theory! Math is nice, but understanding English is even more important. Semantics do mean something. (tongue in cheek, of course). Listen to Eldartford's explanation and perhaps you will gra... | |
| Spindle/Bearing Lube I guess, Pittsflyer, you haven't visited Audiogon or AA very often! They are full of such "pseudo-scientific" nonsense, but unfortunately, nobody can "hear" the difference.Bob P. | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued So Sean, you are saying that all Shure has to do is raise the price and hype for their cartridges and sales will go up? You are probably correct. It has worked for others.Bob P. | |
| Spindle/Bearing Lube John, it is probably true that Tom Fletcher worked with a lubrication specialist since he knows nothing about lubricats. The specialist must have had a chuckle with that contract! Imagine, as the perceived differences in sound were reported to him... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Rockvirgo, yes to a point. But for this "shearing" action to be of benefit, the lubricant has to be strong enough to handle the load imposed on it by the two mating surfaces so that the surfaces DO NOT touch, but are in fact sparated by a continua... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test A light sewing machine oil is all that is required.Of course, I know that someone is going to start hearing differences in the sound of the oils, probably because the different viscosity oils will have differing damping and resonances on the speed... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Sean,I agree to a point about your saying different oils should be verified, but one oil that was not checked was olive oil!You might be surprised to find that it allows the platter to turn even longer than the motor oil.BTW, longer turning time d... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Quincy, I think that you mean a 0W30, not 30W. What you really want to use is not a multigrade, but a straight SAE 5 weight, if you can find it. However, if using a multi-grade (this sounds like an car oil commercial!), use Mobil 1 5W20. At any ra... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Thanks Rock. You also have the knowledge that your turntable will work in temperatures as low as -55C! That Mobil 1 0W40 has a pour point of lower than -55C!Salut, Bob P. |
