Stan (Stringreen), fwiw, I use one donut on the weight bearing arm of the AS device. It's very light ... hardly noticeable. I don't know if my rig sounds better or worse. All I can say is that the stylus wear pattern on my prior "main" cartridge was uneven when I didn't use it.
I think my Kleos is wearing evenly. It just came back from Lyra/Japan for a check-up and minor adjustment. I've been trying to get more info about stylus wear. Problem is the Lyra craftmen who make my cartridge don't speak English and I don't speak Japanese. Trying to get more info from Jonathan Carr.
Btw, Lyra did the check-up/adjustment for no-charge. Very nice people.
