Help for a Sansui Stylus SN 50 of TT FR D3

I'm still using my first TT and first cart (CN5625AL). I know it's a very low end cart but somehow I liked it a lot more than m97xe (which I sold). Though separation wise the 97xe was slightly better. I've already bought Nagaoka MP-110 (which simply blew me away when I listened to it) as a replacement. Waiting for my friend to get it from the US :)

I am listening my TT with CN5625AL now and it is good.
 
I had clay filled most of the geometric blank spaces of the Plastic base which holds platters/motors and all. I think I put in total about 500 gms of clay in there.

I think the sound has little more resolved.
I read that it should, but I do not know why.

Anybody has a reason for this?
 
Clay dampens vibrations. The motor produces unwanted vibrations which is passed on to the chassis, platter and tone arm. Reducing the unwanted vibration that reaches these parts, especially the tone arm, makes the electrical signal generated by the cartridge less corrupted.

CLEAR!
I will put remaining clay too. There still are some cavities.
