My basement space drops to 58F in winter. Silent heater under my butt and 100watt lamp over table. I don’t notice a difference between the cold and when it heats up in Summer. I don’t mind the chilly air. Feels healthier, less drying out of the mu...

How about gluing a steel or brass washer to the counterweight making sure its hole fits over the stub? Have you tried sliding the main ring weight?

Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
Look into the Trans Fi Terminator. Not sure if you'll gain the benefit you seek on that turntable.

So the room is small. One REL T5i for $600. If you like, buy another.  
Subwoofer or New Speaker
A pair of REL T5i will transform your experience. As @yogiboy said, sealed subs, especially new higher tech ones are much faster and tighter. Obviously, room size and budget dictate your needs so look at the 7/9/S series. But 2 or more (swarm) sma...
