I'm useing Herbie HAL-O Damping rings on all my tubes in my Bat VK5i preamp.They're the best I've tried for tube microphonics and they're reasonably priced. The Cable Company carries them. My preamp rests on a set of Symposium Rollerblocks, which are great for digital or tubes. Decoupling is the way to go for a tube preamp. The rollerblocks sit on a sandfilled Bright Star Audio bigrock. This combination gave me greater dynamics, better low level detail, and better decay. Happy Listening! Stan
My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help.
I'm currently using ceraballs under a Rogue 99 and found them to better the BDR cones that I was using before. Although the microphonics are less pronounced than the BDR cones, I'm curious if a combination of four cork isolation pads under a maple board used in conjunction with the ceraballs would help with the microphonics. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
