Reminds me of putting automotive "tar paper"

(whatever the heck that stuff's called) inside my TD160 years ago. I figured that damping was good, so...under the plinth, on the inside of the chassis, under the platter...etc., etc., etc.

That was long, long before the internet and AA...probably still in the 70's.

It sounded EXACTLY as if I'd taken a heavy comforter and hung it over each speaker! I removed one strip of the crap at a time...eventually I took it all off...except for the new light sponge rubber stuffed into the springs...the stuff that had come when the table was new (or...now that I think of it...was that me???) had turned to crumbly dust (I wonder what the MJ smoke was doing to everything else?).

So, now that I wrote a completely unintelligible sentence, I'll explain: I went back to how the table had come to me when brand new!
