Have you taken yours apart yet?

Try it. The metal sub chassis is stamped. It is lightweight compared to a heavily built wood or steel chassis. Beware the porch glider effect from a heavy sub chassis as you will overwork the springs and really get it in motion. I would pick Carbon Fiber over wood for stiffness and lightness as that is the purpose of the Keel. the Keel is Aluminum to decrease mass while stiffening the sub chassis I believe. However, as many of the fans will tell you, it might not be the LP12 that you loved for many years.

PS. Flipping the top plate and putting the motor opposite the tonearm works miracles in the noise department.
