Benz Ebony/ruby in VPI JMW12.5 arm, fluid damping


does anyone have experience using a Ruby or the new Ebony in the VPI JMW 12.5 arm? if so, do you reccommend using the damping fluid or leaving the well dry?

I have a Ruby 2 in a JMW 12. I use the damping fluid - about 1/3 to 1/2 full. I find that this fleshes out the soundstage. Note however, that you need to keep the damping fluid warm in the winter months - a lightbulb clipped to your stand under the arm will do the trick.
