Damping fluid is tonearm/cartridge specific. I'm sure Stringreen described accurately how it effects his VPI/Benz. I'm sure Johnnyb53 described accurately what he hears on whatever rigs he's tried it on.
That doesn't make their findings universal. Most any TriPlanar owner will tell you that damping fluid will kill the sound of any really good cartridge. As Stringreen said, if you use too much all the good stuff closes in, except in the case of the TriPlanar ANY amount of fluid is too much. Damping fluid doesn't make a good match better on this arm, it kills it. In fact many of us have removed the fluid trough altogether, with positive sonic results.
The only way to know is to try. The best guidance on this thread came from Markd51, who has the same tonearm as the OP. Results on any other arm/cart (including mine) have little meaning.
