RE: Most turntable thrust bearings

Penguin,

No argument that a bearing (any bearing) will create noise when it is turned. What I question is whether that noise will be audible in a higher-end 'table given the typical machining quality, and further, whether the small contact area between the LP and the spindle will transfer any appreciable amount of whatever noise is there through a compliant medium like vinyl. I'm not making a proclamation here, just voicing my thoughts based on a number of different 'tables I've owned.
