Are you sure?

Some teflon tape is incredibly light. I tried wrapping my SME series III arm today and the the effect on VTF was only about 0.2g.
As this added weight is on average only half way down the arm, the change in effective mass is very small. Even if the teflon only slightly reduces resonance, I can see why there might be some net benefit, even with compliant cartridges. I have a V15 III which is pretty compliant. My initial impression is a slight improvement but I have not yet listened to many LPs. Good or bad, its cheap, its easy to do, and its easy to reverse. Have you tried it? If so what changes did you hear?
Regards
David
