I was really pleased with the performance of the 3M DP-105 adhesive when used as a damping agent in the Empire platter. But if I did not like the result, it was an essentially irreversible decision.

I also think that different adhesive materials are quite variable in their sonic impact when serving as a middle layer in a plinth sandwich. It sounds expensive to do a lot of trial and error.

Anyway, I plan to listen to the HW-recommended combination with clamps before I make any irreversible choices. Thanks for pointing that out!!

Well that's a more easily testable proposition than adhesive differences! - CometCKO 16:05:31 07/27/12 (0)
