+1, been using these for about a year with good results.
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.

I am perfectly happy with the result: my 2 speakers, and dac and the amplifier are on the same desk...I put each one on one sandwiche constituted by pieces of sorbothane duro 70+Bamboo+ cork plates+granite plate +sorbothane+ another granite plate+quartz pieces... on top of speakers 60 pounds of stones.... Almost perfect isolation to my ears... |
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. |
