Default Re: Is blu tak the magic cheapo option for non audiophiles?

Blu-tak is useful for matching the weight of cartridges in interchangeable head shells. If they don't match, changing the head shell will make nonsense of the tracking force scale. And I know for a fact that bright pink Plasticine was used inside the Garrott P77 cartridge for weight matching!
