Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...

...that is the only mod you purchase for a technics 1210? My setup will consist of a 3" maple platform with brass footers replacing the existing ones. I really don't think I could do the rewire myself, and I don't really want to send my turntable into KAB. With just the purchase of the damper would this rig be able to get the most out of higher end cartridges?--Cheers

I'm using a small straight, about 6" long
level & a bubble level.

I just use some paper folded up over some Vibrapods
which are under a 1/2 " piece of maple. I just had to
prop up the front just a little.

I want to get one of those Michigan maple boards but
I ordered the drop in cabinet from KAB so I'll have
to wait a little while.

"So you have brass cones on the turntable, then a maple platform, then folded paper and then Vibrapods?"

Yes, then the Vibrapods sit on a piece of glass that
came with my rack.

"Do you think placing folded paper under the Vibrapods mitigates their effectiveness, and on the overall effectiveness of the vibration system you have designed?"

Maybe. I'm not done yet, I'm just doing a little at a time
until I can get a Solid Tech rack. I like the sound I'm getting though.
