While there is really no substitute for mass in a TT, the Well Tempered does some interesting tricks that help it to sound like a happy melding of a light and a "heavy" TT. I have used a modified WT Reference arm for several years now, and it will accomodate a wide range of cartridges, despite its low weight, as measured on a scale. Although I am leary of trickery, in and of itself, I try to remain open where audible results are concerned. I have observed, however, via photos and seeing others' installations, that others do not understand how the arm "works", or their set-ups certainly make this appear to be the case. Nothing out of the ordinary here, of course, rather, typical of our breed. I happen to be a heavy TT guy; but the truth is, a well-employed "lighter" 'table would likely out-perform an average "heavy" TT installation.
