Silicone for Tri-Planer damping trough


Is it a specific type of silicone? And have you found it necessary to be used at all? What are the benefits? Is it's use a matter of choice like the anti-skate? Thanks

Doug, after all your posts on the subject, I bought a Triplanar from Mehran and mounted it with my ZYX Universe on my Sota Cosmos. I am floored that a tone arm can make that much of an improvement!! (moved from a Well Tempered arm) Easy to set up, but still tweaking a bit.

Particularly astounding is the improvement in bass and micro detail... for the time being, I'm not anxious to fill the damping trough, again based upon the posts here--so far the only times I hear 'shrill or honk' is from the recording as my reference records are absolutely phenomenal through the Triplanar/ZYX.
Doug, thanks for the reply. Downstream is a Sutherland PhD and then a Plinius 9200 hooked to Dunlavy Cantatas. I am changing out a cable between the PhD and the 9200 to a Cardas Golden Reference. Later looking at upgrading the 9200 to a Plinius M8/SA201. There is no end to this addiction... I printed your tips before I set the arm up, very helpful.
