Today I concluded what I suspected from the beginning:  in the double-deck configuration I lost some bass. I know that Micro did some heavy mass stabilizers for their TT and some other companies did the same. People clamed that sound got “better”.  I always had suspicions about it and what I made my double-deck where the second deck acted effectively a stabilizing flywheel for a playing platter I felt that the effect was not as dramatic as people proposed. I might accept the upper mF range become very minorly smoother but the degree was warring with the forth of the belt. The lighter tension of the bell the less effect and at “normal” tension there is no effect from the “flywheel”. However what I did detect also that with the “flywheel” I was slightly close up at the very lowers bass. It was not major change, in fact it is very-very minor but it was there. Then I was looking at the installations of the guys who commented positively about the flywheel benefits… and I discovered that none of their speakers even were able to care lower bass. Well… this answers  the things...

Anyway, it is still might be becose the “specific belt” , or the belt's force or the motor,, or zilions of other resosns... but for now I use my double-deck TT one deck per time, switching a single belt from one platter to other when I need… (Thanks the layout and positioning of my motor allows me to do it)
