In Reply to: RE: Why turntable bearing shaft and spindle machined as one piece? posted by caffeinator on October 23, 2016 at 10:37:07
IF so concerned?
Ream out your LP centers and fit a bit of silicone ring/tube as an Isolator so the lp never directly contacts the spindle..
IF the LP has no direct contact to the spindle the Problem(?) is moot.

and put a silicon rubber tube over it? On the other hand i do nto think it is a huge source of noise in a high end TT. Maybe there is more to be gained from the mechanical grounding a well designed thrust bearing affords. After all you loose more resolution beating against a spongy bering than a solid one.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
quote by Kurt Vonnegut
My Xerxes X has a removable plastic (some were aluminum) cap which fits over the spindle. Once the record is on the platter, the cap is removed for play. The pictures above show what it looks like with the cap removed.
I'll be honest, and say the closest I ever got to hearing a difference with or without the spindle cap was a "maybe". And when the best I can do for any change, tweak, wire, etc. is a "maybe", I consider it a "no".
I play my records with the spindle cap in place, and call it good.
'Ow many ha' you reamed like thi'?

Clever. I like the way you think. :)
