Obvious to me were more extended highs and a bit more natural sounding. Deeper more powerful bass, but also better defined.
Don't have any damping fluid at this point, so I will have to try that later.
I also need a headshell-cartridge spacer, because I cannot lower the arm enough to get the VTA I want, (almost but not quite).

Instead of removing the bearing bridge as discussed previously, would slackening off the fixing bolts a tad do the same, or even fitting small thin nylon washers between the parts help I wonder?
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
