Hi Doug. I agree that this is a nice mod, and makes the small incremental changes of VTF very much easier to do on the OL Silver arm with TWL HiFi mod.
I have installed this on my arm, per Doug's instructions, and have found it a worthwhile addition to my system. I have not noticed any negative aspects of resonance added by the presence of this item.
I think it is an innovative idea that solved an annoying problem of very small incremental VTF changes that are required with temperature change to the very VTF sensitive Shelter cartridges.
The fact that the clip is located at the bearing axis, allows it to be used to give a small but very useful range of adjustment in addition or subraction directions. Plus, it does so in such a way as to not affect the resonance characteristics of the arm, because it is not actually connected to the arm tube, but is indirectly coupled thru the HiFi mod and bearing axle.
This is a good idea that is simple and effective.
