If you are referring to solder directly to the pins that is a very bad idea. Best regards Moray James.

Ok- John Iverson of Electro Research showed me that when I worked with him in at
Orange County factory- so his was a "very bad idea"?
I'll take his word over yours until you care to outline some of your contributions to the
Industry plus proof that would highlight your comments above.
In anticipation.

Does Russ Sherwood get on any asylum forums?
because many of the cartridge pins are embedded in plastic. Not only does the plastic melt but the heat can actually dislodge the extremely fine wires soldered to the pins themselves from the coils.
Resoldering a broken wire is extremely difficult and I rarely can do it successfully.
Iverson can do it, but most others can not, at least not successfully. I would definitely not recommend anyone except the most experienced to try.
YMMV, naturally,

Yes I agree it does require dexterity and trust in ones ability but I have seen it done,
done it myself and would heed caution to those that feel the problems you mention could
arise with mishandling.
In short if one does not have the "nerve" to attempt then refrain-fair enough-in their
cases Mr James's "very bad idea" is for noting.
However successful implementation has sonic benefits-I've heard these.

Sorry to be pedantic-- allow me to correct a point you made-- "Iverson (RIP) could do it"
I have put foQ on the front and both sides of my Dynavector 17D3 - small squares and a strip on the Anna arm of my Nottingham 294. Did any of this help? I dont know but the Nott and the 17D3 make beautiful music together.
what is foQ?

I'm sure there will be some horrified members but, here goes.....fo.Q on the cartridge, arm and pivot. Nottingham 294

But posting a photo cetainly helps us to understand what you've done. I can presume that you like what the application of the foQ does.
I have never tried it, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.Maybe lots of it...
In general when it comes to arms and such. I find damping to be critical at the points where a larger mass meets the smaller. For example, headshell interface with arm tube, armtube with central bearing. In your case, I believe a small bit on the headshell rails where it meets the termination to the armtube would work very well. Trya a tiny piece on the intersection of the arm lift lever to the shaft of the arm lift ( horizontal shaft).
You won't need as big a piece as you are using currently. Try a piece the same width but only about 3/32 inch long. Should give you more top end ( if you could use more).
If you do try it, I'd be interested in your reaction, negative or positive.
Stu
It sounds so good as is I'm reluctant to add/change anything, but I much appreciate your comments and will apply the principles in future.
