Nice set-up. That will do til something better comes along. 😛
Vibration Isolation
I came across these the other day and for the price I couldn't pass up trying them. I've spent as much as $75 each for vibration isolation pucks and seen pucks going as high as $900 each. I have to say that these $0.62 wonders work as well as anything I've tried and much better than the cork ones I've seen advertised for $6-$7 each. Even though my VPI turntable has factory cones and feet I did notice an improvement in smoothness and clarity. Too few bargains in high end audio not to share. I now have these under my monoblock amps, turntable and turntable motor. Hope this helps someone looking for an inexpensive way to dampen vibration.

Further information from Diversitech product support staff... For EVA MP2E pads (i.e., black corrugated rubber sandwiching a blue foam core), performance is maximized when statically loaded to around 345 kPa. Vibration will not be as effectively absorbed when loads are less than this value. According to Unitconverters.net, 1 kPa is equivalent to 0.145 psi, so 345 kPa is ~50 psi. A 4 square inch (2"x2") MP2E pad therefore requires loading with 200 pounds for best performance. https://www.unitconverters.net/pressure/kpa-to-psi.htm Product specs supplied by Diversitech personnel are valid as of the date of the posts in which they are reported but going forward are subject to change. |
