RE: If what you say were true

Many Technics arms were, well, not the greatest in terms of bearing tolerance. Even their top line arms, the EPA series with the titanium armtubes had many issues with their ground ruby bearings ( The Mod Squad used to specialize in mods for that particular arm). The micro ridge type stylus can emphasize any bearing play and then of course you need to match the cartridge compliance to the damping factor of the arm itself.

IIRC, the lesser Technics arms had a bit more play and thus would need more mass at the headshell. Or if silicone damping is available, try that ( I'm thinking about the sadly defunct Townshend arms).
