As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).
Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason
(Rega Planar 9, Well Tempered, Roksan, Amazon, Wilson Benesch); my main problem with these is they tend to come with (and designed for) the lightweight tonearms.
When I was a teenager my lightweight Pink Triangle sounded great and I wonder how it would sound to me now (maybe it was the Garrot Decca catridge; those deccas can be so exciting if set up right). And to me, there was something so cool about the Pink's lightweight honeycomb suspended suspension that (if it worked according to theory) was so elegant compared to the brute force solutions of TTs like Micro Seiki.
(Share the Fantasy is also the title of the Chanel No. 5 perfume commercials that I loved as a teenager)
