How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

I just went through part of this operation when I changed plinths on my LP12. The WTA arm is a royal pain to work with. Getting the silicone out of the cup was an exercise in frustration, as not all will be removed from the cup, leaving a nice mess. I did it with a syringe used to baste with, but it is not easy. The silicone liquid will spill everywhere, and it is a pain to clean up. This, IMO, is one of the biggest issues with ownership of the WTA. If I could source an arm that was more interesting sonically on the LP12, for a reasonable price, the WTA would be gone, because of this sole issue~

If you do mount your WTA on the LP12, I think you will be pleasantly surprised how great it sounds...and works with the old fruit box.

@lewm My ’WTA’ Black arm replaced my older Ekos 2. The improvement in sound staging, particularly the sense of depth was very noticeable. The only arm that might...might be better on the LP12 is an Ekos SE, but even that is not a 100%. I have done an ’AB’ with the WTA against the Ekos-SE, same components except for arm cabling. The WTA was using Nordost Tyr phono cabling, while the Ekos-SE used the stock Linn T Kable.. The results was that the Ekos-SE has slightly more bottom end reach, but the WTA was still the soundstaging champ. The Ekos-Se was a lot easier to set up..and keeps it set up way better, but cannot adjust azimuth, which I think is a failing of the arm.
