>Give the stainless steel cones from Avalon a whirl. I haven't tried them in that particular situation, but I've had much better results with them than from brass.<Okay, I will consider that.
>And if you really want to get tweaky, try cutting out some small circles from the "beer coasters" you can get at the local bar and putting them between the top of the cone and the bottom of the turntable base. Sometimes this composite will give just the right amount of damping without killing the "life".<
That's interesting, and something I was searching for - that last touch of damping. What I did instead last night was add a couple of sorbothane pucks that squeezed between the base of the TT and the plywood/cement board that also is in there with the points. Add too many sorbothane pucks and it sounds too dead, add too few and its still has too many resonances. Two was about correct, at ends of the TT. With 60 lbs. of TT, it squishes pretty easily.
>Of course, I could just be deluded...<
Deluded? Why? I trust your ears to be excellent and capable of more than I can hear. I just can't hear enough nor care enough about the minute changes you get by hearing things like differences in a solder joint through my tinnitus. I think it's my attitude more than anything. I won't bother with CD tweaks, for instance, because it's too little gained for too much time, effort, and cost. I will OTOH, tweak up a sensitive TT because I spent so much on the thing and it better sound in tip top condition.
