This is one of the kind turntable bearing design in history for Linn LP12.
Traditional bearing house has friction inside the bearing house, too tight it won't spin freely and too loose it wobble. And therefore I came up with a solution by using ball bearing inside the bearing house to keep the platter shaft tight and move freely.
The ball bearings being used are very special very-high precision , they are the 1990 NOS Fafnir from USA and KDK Japan. Very hard to get now.
Some claims the ball bearing is noise if you attach a microphone to the Mober bearing house. In reality, who will like to place the cartridge to touch the bearing house. All high-end tonearm does have several ball bearing inside the tonearm, which is much closer to the cartridge than the Mober bearing. However, you are more concern that it is much quieter if the cartridge hits the groove when you monitor from your loudspeaker. It has been reported by many happy users.
The conclusion it does sound quieter in empty groove compared with traditional bearing house, further lower the noise floor and therefore better sound.
The platter spins longer in time with Mober bearing sounds better, it is common sense. The Liner inside Mober bearing is made of PEEK, the top quality material as
silencer
for bearing. It last for decades
without
deterioration.
Mober bearing fits most chassis for LP12, except the earliest pre-cirkus bearing chassis, Pre-cirkus bearing bolt is 2mm, all later bearings are 4mm. The hole have to be enlarged to fit Mober bearing or upgrade to a better LP12 chassis. My latest Mobering bearing with the ring lock, no need to enlarge the pre-cirkus hole anymore.
The Mober bearing house is bigger than other bearing, it will not get through the Valhalla or Hercules PCB hole. Only for Lingo , Mose/Hercules , Radikal or Mober DC motor PSU.
Mober bearing does not fit the Lingo 4, Lingo 4 has a capacitor right next to the hole and block the Mober bearing movement.
The conclusion is Mober bearing is quieter than normal bearing when you hear the sound of the cartridge hits the record groove.
I have been selling Mober bearing for 4 years, hundreds of happy users.
See the Video shows it spinning for 14 minutes by push the platter by hand.
