OG42, sorry but the toothpaste tricks are (really) a traditional thing of mine. My friends still kid me about it since my college days.
It all started with the first magnetic cartrige I was able to afford for my turntable. It was an Empire. The sucker had lousy tracking at any reasonable weight. Then I read somewhere that Empire hardly used damping for the stylus shaft. I had nothing else at hand, so I figured that toothpaste could do the trick for a test. It sure did!
After that, I used it as temporary damping in a number of other electronic things.
Word got out the day that one of my friends was in my room listening to Carmina Burana. He joked that the recording was so clear that he could actually "smell fresh mint" from the singers' breath. I was dumb enough to tell about the toothpaste.
Years later, my friends made sure to tell my soon-to-be wife! Since then, when something needs fixing she always asks me if I tried the toothpaste.
