The platter essentially becomes a part of the record due to its slightly sloped surface and the screw down record clamp that comes with the turntable. Resonances are dissipated through the thick acrylic disk. An internally damped version of the platter reduces resonances even further.
The tonearm is made of aluminum and is filled with very fine sand for damping. This combination is extremely rigid, light, and resonance free.
The Well Tempered Arm bearing and sand filled arm tube are patented by the Well Tempered Lab.
The turntable base is made of multiple layers of extremely dense material which sandwich a sound absorptive material in a constrained layer damping system. Hollow rubber feet were specifically designed to dissipate resonances.

The Well Tempered Turntable motor is isolated from the turntable except for the polyurethane belt which stretches from the motor pulley around the turntable platter. Motor vibration is quelled by a heavy lead brick mounted on its own set of rubber feet. The motor spindle turns on a teflon thrust bearing plate and the motor is packed with molybdenum grease which will not break down over time. The motor is so quiet that putting an ear next to it is the only way to hear it. The teflon thrust bearing and lubrication in the motor also minimize cogging. All Well Tempered motors include power conditioning in a separate module in the power cord.
