I'm curious of your opinion, based on your comment about not preferring the bass with a Cirkus bearing. Could it be that the increased detail in the upper and midrange has dwarfed the bass in juxtaposition? I find the bass exactly the same as before the Cirkus addition to my table. I did have the rare advantage of hearing an identical deck, with same cartridge (and same vintage), same arm, side-by-side and I opted for the Cirkus, fast as I could pull the dollars out of my pocket. The new bearing cut my record surface noise at least in half also and it wasn't bad to start with. I couldn't stand being without the huge increase in low level detail and resulting acoustic ambience transcribed from the recordings. Just curious, not trying to cross-examine your choice or start an arm wrestling match with you.
Happy Listening!
I have a 70's vintage LP12 with a new bottom board, main bearing (NOT Cirkus, did not like what it did to the bass)fresh motor and Vallhalla as of 1998 or 1999??, Grace 707 Tonearm/Benz-micro ACE, wired with the new Cardas silver interconnect, clear dustcover and a silver powercord.
I am thinking of going with a new motor package for it, the one that is a true DC, running off a battery.
I love my table.
It makes real music and seems to show me what is on the vinyl...good, bad or otherwise...it does not get in the way of the music.
I like the fact that you can stay more basic, like mine...or go to the moon with the table.
