Sub -platter and pulley turned up today.Popped the pulley off and guess what the new one is to small and does not fit I am a bit concerned about pushing down to hard any ideas I have sent him a email and waiting for a reply

All fitted now

first impressions is WOW

The sounds so much clearer bass improved by a massive amount just played Phil collins in the air tonight the drum solo just hits you GnRs sweet child of mine intro sound more precise and just cuts into the air like a knife.
It now needs to bed in as advised two weeks Micheal advised I will post more opinions as I play different music .

diviy, good show!!
What was the problem fitting the Pulley?

Is that the double Pulley??
I forgot what you are using, I think It was a P3?
Opps I see here>
here is my spending list
p2 £50.00
p3 £93.00 no arm but a full srm upgrage kit fitted
the p3 then had the rb 250 arm fitted
origin live counter weight £50.00
mike lim sub-platter and new pully £134.00 when they come
So what Ive spent Im a happy man buying used is a great way to save money only things Ive got new are the lim upgrades and the cart

The metal Sub-Platter is a very worthwhile investment.
I got the extra belt yesterday still waiting on the Double Pulley.

It was just a very tight fit had to oil it then press down hard . I did not go for a twin belt system as I still play 45`s sometimes I keep on looking for a arm to fit my p2 then I would fit the twin pulley belt set up.

Ordered my 60Hz double metal pulley from Michael Lim today. I'm looking forward to installing this in my P25.

Update on the bits from Mr lim
I have now played a varied range of records dark side of the moon
keyboards crystal clear and the album has all I can describe has more toque its fuller, timing seems even better.
Then I played iron maiden first album and the guitars and bass are so tight and G&Rs paradise city is out of this world.

So all in all I am really happy with the outcome and its going to take another week for it to run in the deck is running 24/7 so I wonder how it will sound then.

diviy,
Was the bearing replaced with the Sub-platter? Or, are you using the original?
There is quite a choice of bearings out there too that will make a difference.
Relatively cheap! Isokenik sells a ruby.

I see Michael is offering a "Silicone" Belt now ($20).

My Double Pulley was shipped on 6/2 still waiting.

After this is done, I'm done ! Famous last words.
This P5 will basically be a P7 without the special platter, maybe better?

Man, I like these Arms>

Has anybody proved the michell motor isolation base? Some opinion?

22 days and no Dual Pulley here yet.
It should not take that long. Sent out 6/2.

Hi Bacobits,

Mine went sent out the same day (6/2) and still no pulley either. mr lim is his email quoted 7-9 days but that can't be right from malayasia. I think the norm would be three weeks? Did he give you a reference number?

Noticed your post, I ordered a single pulley from him, it took a little more than 3 weeks to arrive. It was worth the wait

by **bacobits** » 24 Jun 2011 00:40

gabriel, your not too far from me. Yes, I do have a Reference number. It states "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece."
Michael did say 7-9 days via "Registered Air Mail".

I have mailed stuff to Australia and it got there in 10 working days but that is the US Postal System. Also got the belt from GB in 6 working days.

I E Mailed him today and he said he sent one to New Mexico the same day on 6-2 and they got theirs on the 15 of June.

Oh well, we'll just wait.
