Duane Jackson’s Brass Platter 20mm oversize and brass spindle upgrade

Ray,

 

I installed your platter and bearing in one of my 301’s.  They sound great.  I listen primarily to classical music, and the sound of your platter is greatly appreciated.

I have two 301’s in my main system.  Over the years they evolved into identical configurations.  I had two 301’s to judge change.  They started out with baltic birch plinths, then single layer slate, then evolving to 4 layer slate with all slate interfaces separated with “mechanical diodes”.  The tonearm is supported by a three slate layer column with similar “mechanical diodes”. 

I previously was using a Tenuto gun metal mat on the 301’s platter.  Your mat is a major improvement.  I have moved closer to the sound that I hear in concert halls.
