    Quoted from NimblePin:

    Since my machines all have a shaker and a FF kit installed, I have resorted to using (bicycle) DSP 1.8 handlebar tape along the back channel and on some tiny portions of the side channels, to keep the glass from rattling during the more dramatic sequences. It works like a charm and can be removed at any time. The sound clarity is greatly improved (without the added rattle) and the bass just feels more solid. Thus, making my pinball time more enjoyable/immersive.

    Good to know thanks for the tip NP I will have to give that a try.

    Thanks for the work on this you put in pzy and to Phoog for submitting a sample for testing it is appreciated. I do wish the camera was set up in the same spot as others have mentioned.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    does PDI scratch easier than standard glass?

    Yes I am pretty sure it does.

    Quoted from IndianaPwns:

    Is it just me, or am I the only one who likes to see then reflection of the backglass on the table glass?

    Although I think many have blown the proportion of importance of glare reducing glass clear out of the water I can see why it would be nice to have.
