In my opinion the Ikea lack is a no brainer for the money.
Any solid coupled counterweight is a no brainer.Yes solid coupled.It
is what all the aftermarket weights have in common.It does not change
VTF on warps if you leave the stock Rega VTF spring alone.That spring
actually is trying to lift the arm on warps to offset the change in VTF and is the Genius of Roy Gandy.Which way does the arm go when there is no cartridge on the arm?It goes full up.Any metal subplatter if properly machined is valid.It has nothing to do with mass or weight and has everything to do with improving speed
stability through more accurate manufacture.(Less runout)Dave Coston is the only inmate that I have supplied with a dual belt
motor pulley.Ask him about it.It also improves speed stability.As mentioned,a good $600.00 plus cartridge and approximately $1000.00
phono stage with separate power supply.When all the basics are right I have found the stock Rega felt mat on the
glass platter to be the best.Brightness or blurring of the sound stage is primsrily from poor speed stability or poor cartridge and
phono stage as in solid state(Tubes are best IMHO).If anyone would care to read the original Rega owners manual,it is recommended by Rega to sit the table on a small light rigid table
for best perfomance.(IKEA Lack anyone)
