It was time for a new belt anyway so I ordered another bottle. Curious to find out if the dampening fluid will help with my cartridge.
You should not need dampening fluid with your Soundsmith Paua cartridge. There are really not many modern cartridges that should need it. The only ones I've even seen a recommendation for in the last decade would be Grado. That being said, check with Peter at SoundSmith, better to hear directly from the horses mouth.
