I both agree and disagree with you....yes I am conflicted....

With a standard Rega RB250 arm and stock counterweight, you could say that many other aspects like warping and dishing effect sound more than the physics of the counterweight.

But you would be terribly wrong.

Both the Mitchell Technoweight and the Kerry F2 Titanium counterweights were revelations to me about how centering the counterweight mass to the stylus might transform the sound of the music.

Some here like the Technoweight and some like the Kerry F2 Titanium counterweight.

The thing is you can hear more from the grooves when the counterweight is properly engineered to do its true function. Which is to keep the stylus planted into the groove.

Warps and dishes are more complex issues and we can all throw out, replace or repair a warped disk. In my line of thinking, digging out the details is what this hobby is all about.
