Edwards Audio TT1 + Variants, Moth and Nad
Upgrade
Precision made components, with hi-carbon polished steel spindle. They made from hi-grade 6082 alloy. And, finished in a hi-quality anodised satin. This subtle finish will not rust or discolour over time. Like a plain turned or polished alloy and does not show fingerprints. The Spindle is slightly longer on top than original for record clamps.
- Runout typically within 2 microns
- Spindle shaft typically 1-2 microns of the original bearing.
- The physical platter is the same as the original.
Sub platter Rega Sub-platter Upgrade
This sub-platter has a unique feature. The 18mm centre collar with red rubber ring easily removed. And, allows a non-Rega Main platter used. Or perhaps a custom made a platter with just a standard spindle hole.
All Rega Platters have an 18mm centre hole, so you’re pretty much stuck with what’s available. With this sub-platter, however, it is possible to use a plethora of platters if the surface is level under the platter.
If you have what you believe to be a Rega Based turntable let us know as much info and photos to identify which model you have before purchasing.
We also have sub-platter upgrades for the project Xpression 2/3 & Project Debut in our other listings.
The plastic lightweight sub-platter that came with your turntable listed above though can be massively improved. Bringing so much more detail and mass to your lightweight turntable.
The Bearing Rega Sub-platter Upgrade
The bearing that came with your Rega is good quality and easily capable of carrying the extra weight of this new sub-platter.
Upgrading your turntables sub-platter or bearing is one of the best and easiest upgrades you can do. Remove your old sub-platter and ball bearing. Clean out your path and drop the ball bearing back into it. Add around six drops of oil on the spindle of the new sub-platter before replacing. Be sure not to force, just put it in gently turning it and let it gently self lower. A little oil may come up to the top of the bearing, but this is normal.
Recommended
- To renew your oil when changing sub-platters.
- Oil kits also available on our other listings.
- If you have any questions, please ask.
- This item will despatch the same day or within 1-2 working days.
