Basis Vector 4 arm question


Hi all,first post here,appologies if this has been asked before.
Re the silicon arm damping,I followed the instructions and filled the well up to the bottom of the radial bearing, however I read somewhere that the level can be adjusted and this will alter the sound,has anyone any experience of this and what are the effects.

I see it's been 2 1/2 months since your prior post, are you still having brightness issues on some LP's? Did you use the Mint LP for cartridge set up? Have you tried setting the SRA at 92* and adjusting VTF than anti skate to deal with brightness? I have a Vector 3 on a 2500 and find I have to make very small adjustments in VTA for some record, when I had the Vector 1 with a Koetsu Urushi Black the combo wasn't at all "bright". Next I would look at the tubes in the PH-5 and possibly just bite the bullet and get some Amperex 6922's or other NOS, non Russian tubes!!! A friend had a PH-3 SE and was amazed by the improvement when he switched to Amperex.
It is impossible to determine what would be the optimum amount of dampening for all the possible arm- cartridge combinations. It will at least partly depend on the rest of the owners system, room and taste. And even if it were possible, knowing audiophiles, some would violently disagree. I am sure if any of us make it to heaven [ highly doubtful LOL] God will be deluged with suggestions about how to improve the Heavenly Music.
Hi,
Need help!
Does anyone know where i can source the silicone fluid for the Vector 4 Tonearm ?
You can also buy damping fluid directly from Basis. Just send them an e-mail.
