Solid Bearing
Although the original Lenco bearing is very good, and certainly much better than its humble look suggests, there is always room for improvement. This upgrade offers a far more rigid construction, made to a much closer tolerance, from the best materials available.
The housing and the bottom cap are both CNC-machined from solid pieces of stainless steel, guaranteeing a perfect fit and leak free operation. The bushings are made from self-lubricating sinter-bronze. The very well made original spindle is retained but is now resting on a perfectly round, perfectly smooth ruby ball, which in turn sits on a very slippery, durable POM thrustplate.
The result is a much lower noise floor, bringing clearly audible improvements in quietness, imaging and overall solidity.
