Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...


...that is the only mod you purchase for a technics 1210? My setup will consist of a 3" maple platform with brass footers replacing the existing ones. I really don't think I could do the rewire myself, and I don't really want to send my turntable into KAB. With just the purchase of the damper would this rig be able to get the most out of higher end cartridges?--Cheers

Would you consider the 10x loupe essential? I already have an 8x loupe. Would this give me what I need?

I switched the brass cones out for some Gingko Mini Clouds. I had a base made by a friend of mine so I wanted something different. I like the sound a little better, seems to be more bass & a blacker background.

I put pictures in the System page. My friend did the base for $45.00. I did the stain, I went for a antique look.
