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

Have you done any testing to see what the optimum weight should be?

This is an awesome post and an interesting idea. Using side riggers to provide mass loading to the bearing support is not new, but rarely seen because it looks odd.

I am going to try this on my Rega 250 arm. But I think your 5 gram weights for a total of 10 grams sounds a bit overcooked. Have you tried about half this weight. I would think that 50-75 % of the effective tonearm weight would be sufficient to quell resonance and provide horizontal stabilization.

What else could be working here to make the sound so day and night? Any ideas?

Cheers.
