Re: Any "Damping Factor" tweaks? (Not vibe isolation!)

Anything you do to reduce the output impedance of the amp will help the damping factor.

This includes;

adding more output stage devices in parallel to the existing ones (with associated circuitry).

If the output devices have current sharing resistors you could reduce their value to say half.

Removing the fuses (risky).

Adding or increasing the output supply bypass capacitors. These sit right next to the ouput devices from supply rail to ground.

Increasing the power supply size (transformer and/or capacitors) to say double.

All the above assumes a solid state amp.
