Default Preferred oil for turntable bearing

What would you recommend (for an Acoustic Research "The AR Turntable")?

Thanks,

I think I've always put 3-in-1 in my Thorens t/table!


What?! Don't you find that the sound is smoother and more effortlessly
fluid when using a dedicated audiophile-quality product?

Nope. D

Although doubtless there are audiophools who would fall for that.

IMNHO any light machine oil will do.


Snake oil ;o)

Get the low hiss extra virgin quality ...

3 in 1 isn't usually the ideal choice since it is designed for other jobs
than just plain lubrication. In rather the same way as WD40. Both sort of
work for many assorted jobs, but may not be the very best for a single
task.
