How do you know what to damp?

This is actually a simple question and may show a bit of my ignorance on this situation, yet I feel compelled to ask. How does one accurately devise the frequency plots of a cartridge actually residing in the groove?

I know some of the usual possibilities and see more heels than Achilles ever has on this topic since the possibility of measurement error is huge.

Dave,
Atmasphere (Ralph) gave me a specific proceedure for ringing a cartridge using a scope, function generator, and resistor setup using a fixed 10k resistor and the variable portion of a 1k 15 turn potentiometer (using it as a rheostat). I will say that it is not as easy as it could be as there is a lot of interpretation. If you are interested I would send Ralph an e-mail ans I would surely screw it up.
Regards,
Mike
