In the traditional setup of a single motor and platter the motor is "pulling" the platter towards itself, setup D. Could this be of any concern? Supposedly one of the reasons Clearaudio uses 3 motors (other than to charge another $10K) is to keep the...

As a practitioner of vibration decoupling (stacore.pl), I second the idea. No gel, foam, rubber, etc will work on ULF as high mass + pneumatic mounts do. Pref. pneumatic damped too. I can assist with the design of the suspension. Cheers,Jarek...

There does seem to be a fair consensus the Airforce Zero (not to be confused with Forsell) is a success. I assume its success is due to controlling vibration. I believe US $400k is a sale price as reviewers say it will be Over $400k, not including th...

I'll buy some more 7788 and give them a try. I'd hate to change tubes at this point. My triode connection has pin 8 (g3) to anode, not ground). I wonder if that makes a difference. Also, the power supply chokes are nearby, per...

[quote user="Stitch"] When you look at the data sheets, you see, that they have different Hz range with different weight. A reason why I added some more mass to my Micro which is sitting on a VP. [/quote]

[quote user="Paul S"]If you can do it, try isolating both cases/chasses from your "ground plane(s)". Use one inclusive "ground plane" for both the PS and the gain/RIAA sections, and ground this "ground plane" to the house "neutral" wire. Do NOT conne...

i am a fan of this.
who said that music is supposed to be ONLY about sound ?
until recording was invented musical performance was never ONLY about sound. because there was also something to SEE for example.
although i can still hear 25 hz i...

Just speculating, but a tense wire can transmit vibration way better than a loose one. Perhaps to have an accurate bass response you need to keep low frequency oscillations away from the platter, and the tight tape helps to drain them to the rest of ...

It possible that those systems exist but I never heard about them and even I think it is too late to invent the thing for record playing but I still do like the idea.

Forget about the vibration! Those vibrations are representing jus one aspect of the problem. There are many others as important aspect, and to fight/name the only proposed vibration course is as necessary as to expose a lend worm to a psychological t...

Interesting… I was under suspicion that only Vibraplan allows LF decoupling but here is another California company the offers an alternative solution.

The Vibraplans did work fine and the principle was very simple, I read wha...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

After spending considerable amount on the hum problem, one way to fix it is tho remove transformer and place it in a different chassis, the noise level will improve more than 15 db to -74db. But that cause too much hassle, so I got it improved to 62d...

[quote user="decoud"]It seems reasonable to begin with the science -- as a preliminary to listening -- but I do not follow the logic here. The source of the vibration is principally the floor: the table should therefore not be coupled with spikes but...

I had the same problem with my 6 foot, bass horns , which were built from 3/4 inch high density fiberboard. On doing some measurements back then, it turned out that they were vibrating for a few milliseconds after a pulse, giving a decent rise time b...
