Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?


The Graham 2.2 manual suggests a range of damping fluid amounts. Has anyone experimented with varying the amount from bare minimum to the max of that range to see how it affects the sound?

I think there is 2.5cc in a full syringe, but I'm not sure. Doug, if you have the syringe in front of you and it says there's 1.9cc left, it should be easy to tell how much is gone, and thereby into Larry's arm (tonearm) - provided Larry only used it once. I'll wager there is about 0.6cc missing. I am at work and will check my part full and full syringes when I get home.

David,

Thanks for all of the help and advice. I will drain the damping fluid from my Graham 2.2 and start from scratch when I have a long weekend to work my way through the process of finding the ideal amount of fluid for my set up and report back.

I don't know if I have the patience to keep fiddling with this arm. Azimuth, overhang, VTA, VTF, antiskating now damping fluid. All I know is I have it pretty well dialed in so I think I'll spend my time listening to records.
SirSpeedy,
Did you raise of lower lower your VTF as you added fluid? I only have a Shure Stylus force gauge and can't do any fine adjustments. What about antiskating?
Alephman,sheeeeesh!I thought this thread was dead!!

Firstly,set antiskate for the downforce you will use,then forget it!!Vta,and downforce,and fluid level ALL AFFECT oneanother.Work slowly,over numerous listening sessions and you will find the Grail.Good luck!!
