I was trying to be gentle.
When we have discussed this issue ,some get really nasty about having the reasons for it being a poor idea explained to them. Even when Jake has gently explained why he does not use LWFW ,we still got unpleasantness. It may require the financial pain of c/s breakage for people to be grateful for such advice. But I hope not.
It is worth noting that some LWFW uses claim no ill effects but they never gave details of any other mods they made to alleviate the problem. Even when we tried to separate the issue for them into harmonic and dynamic imbalance we got grief. In theory ,even a professionally balanced flat 6 will have some (harmful?) vibration w/o a DMF or harmonic balancer.
