    I would caution against over loading the platter. A Funk Firm mat on its own is all thats required and any who use metal/glass mats then an Oyaide BR One underneath works well.

    Never had a problem with any Rega arm or arm based on a Rega on a Technics, so I am a bit bemused by others having a negative experience with one on a Technics.

    Hi Neil, in connection with your comment I did some experimenting and I realized that I prefer listening without any puck or weight on top of the record. I used to always use a rek-o-kut disc stabilizer with the achromat because it did change the sound to what I can best describe as more "airy" but as time went on I found that it was also smearing the sound. This is more noticeable with piano notes, with the puck on, it sounded smeared with an unnatural timbre compared to without. So I do all my listening now without the rek-o-cut.
