A couple great tweaks that will improve that arm. First get some fo.Q tape https://www.ebay.com/p/1074648791 Thin is perfect for tone arms, thick is perfect for speakers. One sheet is pre-cut. I like to maintain a stock appearance. So I put one thin strip on the underside of the arm tube where its hidden but still works great. But if you're worried about adding mass, which you won't be after you hear this but if you are, then use it anywhere around the arm base or plinth.
The adhesive is amazing, sticks instantly yet the tape pulls back up without leaving any residue. One square inch of the stuff is enough to hear obvious improvement in presence and low level detail, and there's about 100 square inches in the two sheets. So a bargain in price/performance.
Then what makes fo.Q a whole lot better is a thin layer of Total Contact. Especially along the arm tube, where it also benefits the signal.
Finally put some Synergistic PHT on the cartridge, and some ECT on the arm base.
The total improvement from all these tweaks is not subtle. It will be like an entire arm upgrade. For a fraction of the cost. Yet they will leave your arm looking almost completely stock. Look closely at the images and see what I mean.
