Thanks for the piccies, and many apologies for the late reply. What's the underside of the plinth made from?

The Garrard 301 Restoration Project PT XXXXIV - More Tom Tweakery! It's been a little while since I posted anything about the 301. I'm actually listening to some Monk on my 401/SME V-12/Shure M55E/EAR 834 clone setup for a change. The 301 is having some more work done on it so may as well give the 401 a spin. The latest mods have been based around trying to reduce vibration further into the 301 by using some feet I purchased from ebay years ago. These feet are nicely milled aluminium adjustable jobbies which sit on some ball bearings. Here's a quick pickie of the 301 having cleaning and fettling, this is a ritual that I always perform if I'm modding the 301, it keeps all the intrinsic clean. It's not a thing of beauty but it gets the job done. And now just a quick picture of how the new feet look after installation, I've still not properly levelled everything at this stage so the feet may look a little wonky. .
The jury is still out. Sometimes I think they are beneficial and other times I'm not so sure. I still have the bamboo feet I made kicking around so nothing lost and nothing gained if they don't work out. I must admit to being very pleasently surprised by the performance of the 401. It makes a nice change to sometimes listen to different decks and carts. As always stay tuned.

Does the bearing sit in a long curvature "bowl", or in a curve only slightly larger than the bearing itself, or the bearing is held securely from moving? Only the first option is likely to have good horizontal isolating effect.

If you copy and paste my link into a new tab it seems to work.
