" The felt pads came off easily making it unevenly seated."
There are no felt pads. Just firmly glued on little rubber pads, easily replaced.
"The platform is too thick to represent a vinyl LP of typical weight (120-140 grams), thus resulting in inaccurate or misleading measurement."
The platform is 6mm thick. An LP is about 4mm thick. Do you think a difference of 2mm in height makes that much difference in the result?
Turns out the pad on my TT is exactly 6mm thick. I measured the tracking force with the pad on and the pad off. It's 1.24 grams with the pad off and 1.27 grams with the pad on. I remember something from metrology about least significant digits? Doubtful my ears could tell the difference.
Recommended tracking force for my cart is 1.25g +- 0.3g
