Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I agree with you Garth on this point and my stinky feet too!

The reason to move bearings outboard is because they do vibrate, and it is best to decouple the vibration from the arm wand as much as possible.

The distance is not an issue. The resonance and vibration is an issue.

And dropping the mass of the counterweight below the plane of the stylus just creates the same mistracking issues as a counterweight above the plane of the stylus, just the opposite force is applied.

The best model I have seen is with the counterweights median mass at the exact plane of the stylus. BTW I love how Graham does his arm. with the opposing magnetic structure for damping and stabilization. Pure genius.
