In my slight understanding , gathered from reading about this design over many decades, the weak link is the platter bearing.

So while other areas can be addressed, the strict hi fi guy would upgrade only the weak link first. He would consider all off target fixes just that. Because as you add fixes, the sound changes, then when the underlying problem is corrected, the other needed "improvements" won't have the same sound, or even benefit , in the new system

I had a French sorbathane like mat for my direct drive, it even came wit a frequency response curve on the back of the box, explaining the whole thing., if I knew french. I liked the sound., and transfered it to my upgrade table when that happened. But only for a while, the new table worked best in stock form. Makes sense, the product was built to succeed, and they have access to all the platter materials under the sun. The question then changes into price point for the design.
