Oracle Audio Project Carbon 9cc Tone-arm damping kit

If you are the owner of a Project 9cc tonearm, know that Oracle Audio has developed a micro vibration damping device that greatly enhance the performance level of your tonearm! The project 9cc damping kit consists of two key elements; a small clamp that is attached to the arm tube and an arc-shaped silicone fluid trough that is attached to the base of the tonearm. The clamp attached to the arm tube is equipped with an adjustable plunger screw that dips into the silicone fluid. The result is a dissipation of micros vibrations and inner arm tube resonances which will very significantly enhance the sonic performance of your toneram. The project 9cc damping kit comes with all the instructions to make the installation easy.

Paul Miller actually measured the Oracle Project 9cc Tone-arm when Hifi New reviewed the Paris MK V in 2011 and made the following comments:-

Oracle's addition to Pro-Ject's carbon-tubed tonearm - a clamp around the top of the tube connected to a paddle dipped into a silicone oil bath - brings tremendous benefits. This cannot hold the cartridge itself in such splendid isolation as the headshell-mounted paddle employed all these years by Townshend, but it does rather successfully dampen-out many of those high-Q resonances that accompany the 9ccl Evolution tube and its attachments [HFN Jun '10]_ Now vastly 'cleaned-up', the main tube resonance is revealed at -270Hz followed by the same -560Hz and -1.02kHz harmonics on the waterfall plot [see Graph 2, below], All higher frequency and mid-bass frequency modes are all but eliminated - a fantastic result!
