turntable bearing

The bearing sleeves are one of the most critical components of a record player. They enable the record player to play music in a clear and smooth manner. This is what manufactures the best sound if you are using a record player, which is why having a good turntable bearing is crucial. Jewelled bearings, mass thumbs, even £8 micro-sound-card USB pre-amps, they can all make even an expensive looking record player sound awful. This guide will explain how and why turntable bearings are important and how they affect the way you listen to music.

Turntable bearings are essential, enabling the platter—the rotating portion—to turn smoothly with even speed. Each bearing has 2 general parts: inner race and outer race Both parts are separated by the small metal balls or rollers. As the platter spins, it lies above the bearing, and the metal balls or rollers allow it to rotate smoothly with no bumps or jumps. This smooth motion is essential for playing music correctly.

Understanding the role of the bearing

Turntable bearing, for example, should be of good quality for more than one reason. First, it ensures that the platter rotates properly. If the rotation of the platter varies just the slightest, the music can sound different, or even skip. This is not the thing to do when we are having the time with our favorite songs! A low-friction, high-quality bearing helps make sure that platter spins at the exact speed at which it was intended, so you hear the music just how it was meant to sound.

A similar improvement in how you experience music can come from a better bearing sleeve types. Things you can expect will be more information in the songs meaning that the music will sound more open and richer. That means you’ll be able to hear the various instruments more clearly, and you’ll hear more of the echoes and airiness in the recordings. It gives you a much more enjoyable listening experience.
