    You mean the gloop that allows the counterweight to droop like it has Peyrone's....

    I've used sorbothane in the past with varying results. Under a EAR phonostage years ago it seemed to bring out extra depth to the soundstage.
    On the other hand it seemed to reduce dynamics and slow tempo and rythmn when placed under amps. It certainly has an effect, no denying that - just depends if you like what it does I guess, depending on the equipment.

    Yeah, they coupled the counterweight directly IIRC and added a possibly superior stiff exit cable which prevented its correct use on the springy belt drives we sold....

    Mind you, the Mechanic, 774LC etc came soon after and the original 774 was consigned to history..

    Well, being a dealer there's only so much crap you can put up with so we probably stopped dealing with them before that...
