Listening to Doobie Brothers on my Amadeus GT with Blackbird arm right now - magical. Time to repeat that I would never want to put anyone off a Well Tempered deck - sorry if anyone ever got that impression. My musings on the technicalities of the arm geometry were academic.
It's reassuring to know that I have a spare motor which cost £3, and an unlimited supply of belts. I could probably DIY a new bearing for this deck too, when the time comes, if I live that long (unlikely).
At the Deluxe Audio Show this last weekend a fellow turntable nut complained that the nylon filament belt on his deck (not a Well Tempered) had a tendency to slip. I thought about this problem and it came to me that rosin for violin bows might be a good way to mitigate it. I'm planning to try this, although I doubt I'll hear anything as I've never heard any speed instability on my Amadeus. Still, a suggestion worth sharing, possibly.
