It is like a double edged sword....

If you cannot completely issolate the motor from the plinth, then using the proper adhesive/foam interface might actually be the very best alternative.

I doubt that the Rega tape and the 3M tape are even somewhat close in resiliance and sheer factors.

The 3M tape is not designed to constrain a torqued motor. It might be a close substitute but is likely to be less compliant and thereby introduce more resonance back into the platten.

Screwing down the motor does aleviate some of the problems with a belt drive but introduces all sorts of other issues.

The foam suspension is there for a reason. Defeating the suspension just introduces other issues.

I think completely issolating the motor from the plinth is the best way to go and using the appropriate foam would be the next best option.

The 3M is anyone's guess.....
