What did you do to that innocent turntable?

Tubes- Not just a Goose Farting ! but a Goose Farting on a very humid day, which totally decimates the rich harmonic overtones and wonderful inner details one thinks typically assumes when reflecting on Goose flatulence ;-)What I did was to Dynamit the hell out of the TD 125 and damp the springs as well, against steve's (User 510's) expert advise.
The previously musical as hell TD 125/SME Series III, now sounded
flat and downright dead.
(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!
