The point is, it may sound 'better', especially if things were so bad before, but if
mistracking (not talking about resonance now) has been introduced as a result of mismatched cartridge compliance vs arm/headshell/blu tak mass, then the resultant mistracking can cause permanent damage to vinyl records, and that
will be heard in due course, and permanently.
But in any case it transpires the OP is more concerned with uses of blu tak, and yes it has been legitimately used to bond cartridges to headshells
while maintaining best operating parameters wrt tracking and resonance as I have described. The required scale of understanding to achieve that being the ability to add up three numbers and see where two points on a graph intersect. So in conclusion (my conclusion) my answer to the question "Is blu tak the magic cheapo option for non audiophiles?", my answer is, it
is cheap, it
does have its uses, but it's
not magic.
