Cheap materials, easily removed without damage to arm.
This one employs use of eigenmodes. These are natural nodal vibrational paths on anything like the tubular armwand. You do not need to completely cover the arm wand to achieve vibrational damping. Been using this technique now for a decade and it works extremely well.
You need thin strips of something like tape: SCotch tape, bule painters tape, etc. about 1/16 inch wide and long enough to wrap the object. I use parafilm a wax based product used in labs to cover test tubes and petrie dishes and the like. Its a translucent film and like some food wraps sticks to itself
You place them at the junction of the larger masses where they meet the smaller. The headshell to arm wand transition is one site, the armlift to the headshell, etc. as illustrated.
Results? Cleaner clearer sound with better dynamics, particularly in control. Frequency response is extended, too

using Herbie's tonearm dampers. Relatively inexpensive and look nice. Results are as you describe.
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

Great idea.

"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
Yamaha used to make an inexpensive turntable with an arm so bad that you could hear it resonate every time it hit a bad scratch on a record!
Literally resonate so loud you could hear it through the air, even with the dust cover closed!
A rubber cable tie about 1/3rd the way down from the headshell did wonders.
