Hi Measet,
I tried the HS-80 and it worked best with the bearing lubricated with lower viscosity oil (same as I used in the RX-5000) and kevlar string but once set up (which can be a pain) I could not hear much difference. Belt tension made far more difference in sound.
Granted the above experiment was tried with a stainless platter and not the gun metal platter.
The bearing is smaller but similar. Cleaning and lubing the bearing can make a difference on ease of setup but ...........I chose to buy a second RX-5000 instead.
You might get different results. Please let us know.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
