vinylholic, are you talking about loosening the collar that fixes a removable headshell to the end of the arm wand, or are you talking about loosening the screws that hold the cartridge on the headshell, or what?

There are two kinds of dogma's. The religious kind and scientific

kind. The later are ''caused'' by Kant with his ''absolute truth''.

However according to Popper all theories are refutable. In our

case there are two ''concepts'' which are questioned: rigidity and

energy  transfer.  I am dogmatic in the sense that I would never

use rubber ring between the headshell and the armwand while

 both sides assume a coupling between them which can't be tighten

''to mach''.

Hi
I’m with Nandric on this one. Definitely worth trying it without the rubber ring,
Curious to read your comments on this.

cheers
