In Reply to: Subchassis -- high mass or low mass? posted by Tube747 on September 21, 2016 at 19:48:52:
To work within the limits of the suspension springs, the subchassis must be low mass - or certainly not heavier than Linn's own subchassis.
Rigidity - the subchassis joins the arm and the platter forming a rigid unit to keep them fixed as though they are a single unit so that the record groove and the arm are not moving/vibrating relative to one another at all.
Hence pressed metal (Linn original), die cast alloy, or more rigid and more expensive exotic materials such as carbon fibre composites, even including carbon fibre/balsa wood laminates - light and rigid.
