The white belt: I bought one and cannot really say it maakes any difference. The white belt was supposed to be a 'limited time offer' so I decided to try one.
I plan on a subplatter someday on my Rega P5. and maybe the type of counterweight that hangs below the arm and rides on two fine 'rails'...
I can say I asked for a different stock subplatter, as when I bought the TT last Spring, I asked to see it in action, annd could see a tiny variation in the glass platter movement, and they let me swap the subplatter with the demo unit. (which was perfectly flat) the movement up and down was only about the thickness of two sheets of paper, but hey, I want it right.
So the stock plastic subplatter can have flaws...
