could you tell me more about the improver bearing thrust pad. Is this a stock item somewhere?

I have 10-15 people who will be doing some listening evaluations and another that can actually test the bearing for wear.
What I can say conclusively at this time, is that this thrust surface allows me to hear all the detail I miss when comparing an LP to a master R2R recording.
The material is proprietary.
I have taken the bearing test cut CDR on the road. I have heard a variety of turntables recently and over 4 decades. None have provided equal detail and dynamics to the overall sound reproduction.
I hope to have the alpha testing and wear testing completed within a couple of months. This will let me know if I am on to something or simply created something different and interesting.
If you want to hear a cdr of the bearing test cuts I can send one out to you. You might say to yourself, what difference does a turntable bearing make? For the last three years I have stated that your table can sound no better than its bearing. This CDR lends credence to that opinion.
Cheers!

I have looked at most of the posts regarding the late Jim Howard's Applied Fidelity extensive work on turntable bearings. Is there anyone doing what he did these days?
Is there any technical write ups on Jim Howard's bearing design with measurements? Did a search for it and could only find satisfied users.
Thanks

Does anyone in the forum has the late Jim Howard's brother-in-law's machine shop info?
