You could just put it on one of these. It'll bounce like not even an LP12 could, look like **** and you'd be forever inflating it on a weekly basis :)

First thought is usually the right one. Needless to say that was mine ;)

According to another forum, Technics now use lighter silicone damping fluid which alters the feel of operation. Makes sense as there is a piston in the fluid cylinder. The effect of this could well be a less heavy feel. Changing the fluid to a heavier one could well go some way towards making...
