    The Empire responds very well to mechanical damping. You'll hear the result of damping the platter right away.
    
    I used the model 208 since it was easier to install a modern arm. I kept working on damping it and finally had a plinth machined of solid aluminum but otherwise allowed the Empire parts to be mounted. The platter was heavily damped. All these changes affected the sound of the turntable, in particular the bass impact.
