Theory behind well tempered tonearm?

Bump!!

If you go to the Well Tempered Lab website you can read about it under the Blog section.
I have the Amadeus MKII and was skeptical about this before I heard it.

Thanks @sebrof 
I will read it over this weekend

I owned an original Well-Tempered Turntable many years ago and don’t really remember any shift of the arm fore and aft. The fluid in which the paddle (now, I guess a golfball?) was suspended was fairly viscous (thick) and acted as a damper as well as a substitute for more conventional bearings. The biggest issue was the amount of fluid used since that could change the sound. I had tricked out my table with a variety of mods, including a heavy brass clamp around the fluid cup, a more up-to-date motor, a different platter and perhaps some change to the arm wand (I don’t remember, it’s been quite a long time).
The table was a very good performer in the era of Linn at reasonable cost. It did not have the gravitas of more expensive, bigger tables I subsequently owned. I had a by then long in the tooth Technics SP-10 at the time I bought the Well-Tempered (in the mid-’80s?). Now the SP-10 has been restored and almost ready to use in my second system. The Well Tempered is long gone, but I had a positive ownership experience with it. I also used a range of different cartridges with it over the years it was in operation, all without issue.

did you use a protractor to setup the cartridge? I am asking because my friend is having the Special Edition version (they only made 50 of them) and he told me he just mounted the cartridge onto the arm. No protractor needed since there is not any slot for adjustment for the overhang.
