Benz Ebony/ruby in VPI JMW12.5 arm, fluid damping

I have a Ruby 2 in a JMW 12. I use the damping fluid - about 1/3 to 1/2 full. I find that this fleshes out the soundstage. Note however, that you need to keep the damping fluid warm in the winter months - a lightbulb clipped to your stand under the arm will do the trick.

only one way for your ears to know.....add the fluid and hear what they think. had the same thoughts when installing my PT-6. do i or dont i. decided that to swab the fluid back out was an easy task, and immediately liked the fluid installed. kurt
