Any one using Dampening fluid on there Schroeder?


I have the mdl 2 schroder & would like to add some dampening fluid to the string, problem is I have no idea
which fluid to try should it be a thin fluid? medium? thick? xtra thick? I noticed Turntable basics sells some
but silicone fluid for cueing mechanisms, will this type work sufficiently?
I am currently using the music maker3 with the aluminum
mounting plate, AND the cartridgeman isolator.

What fluid? Dampening of that arm is basically determined by its construction (choice of arm material and design) with some adjustment made by altering the space between the magnets that hold the string "bearing" taut.

I would never put anything on the string unless this is either recommended or green lighted by the manufacturer. You could cause the string to weaken, to stretch or maybe shrink -- who knows?
