Re: Results Of Over-Dampening?

I don't think you're killing resonances here, so much as you're tuning them. The resonances are still there, but of a different frequency. Tuning resonances can change the sound a million different ways. (I can hear the sound change from moving a dime on a loudspeaker by a mm or so, so consider that as one of a million different ways). Point being, "changing" the sound is easy. Changing it so that it's entirely an improvement is much, much harder. Whether it's a brick or a dime, I've not been able to do that with dead weight on top of my gear (unless the device was capable of producing good sound in itself, in which case, I wouldn't be referring to it as "dead weight").
