Cable isolators ???

I am usually in complete agreement with much of what Mr Eldartford has to contribute . I have also learned much from his posts over the years . This time however we agree to disagree. Isolating the components from the effects of vibration is { im my system , to my ears} a critical component in high end sound reproduction . Isolating a transparent digital source can make a dramatic improvement in its performance as well as tube amps and tube preamps in my system . These improvements only became clear once my system reached a high level of transparency however. I am however speaking of a system that is in a room with suspended wood flooring .

Hi
I live in Peru and I thought that was way off to buy the real ceramic ones "cable isolators" and bring them here. They are way heavy. So I started to look for a local replacement. I crashed into a local electronic industrial supply store, the ones that sell equipment to the companies that supply power.
And I found almost the same ones, ceramic, (the size was like the big of the real cable isolators) 98% same look, very nice finish in dark brown, and they are designed to work isolating a lot more than you need. The Brand is Gamma. I bought each at $3.5(at that price I took 12
I tested them in my house and then with my local audio seller isolating the ICs and the speaker cable and the results were not so dramatic but real. The high extension was cleaner and the bass was more tight, also the background noise was reduced.
So, I think, if I could found this in Peru, there is no doubt you will find them in USA and maybe cheaper. Any doubts contact me at my email.
Good Luck

Brainwater...Sorry, I forgot tube electronics which are microphonic, and would benefit from vibration isolation. Apart from that we agree to disagree. What the hell...Vibration control, along with exotic cables are what is keeping the high end industry from bankrupcy! Oh, and Clever Little Clocks too.

Honest1...The loudspeaker in the box with the (outboard) phono preamp was driven by a spare power amp. The test signal played through the loudspeaker was a "warble" tone that I swept over the range of 22.5 Hz to 250 Hz. (I may have also used a white noise signal but I don't remember that). The phono preamp output was fed as it always is into my regular audio system which includes a spectrum analyser. With no vibration applied, I cranked up the regular system gain so that the noise floor of the preamp was clearly displayed. Then I increased the vibration, and varied the warble frequency in an effort to affect the preamp output. There was absolutely no change in the spectrum analyser display. If there was any change in the preamp output it was below the noise floor. And this for a SPL of 110 dB from a speaker just inches away from the circuit.

Of course it's just my opinion, but my experiment seems more convincing than the "wife walked into the room" story that I have heard a thousand times :-)

Eldartford, I attatched the speedometer of my car to the speaker cable and ran a signal through it, but it didn't go any faster than when I had no signal running through it.
