Gingko vs. pucks

Have a Gingko under my Scout, it is quieter and cleaner than anything else I have tried (BDRacing, Myrtlewoods, Bright Star air and sandbox, etc etc).
I love the Gingko and highly recommend it, however, I have not tried the Aurios.
Good luck!

Why do you wish to add some isolation?

Consider the following possibilities:

o There are 3 sources of vibration, floor-borne, air-borne, and internally generated.

o One of these sources induces far more sonic harm than the other two.

o Vibrations are captured (by a component) in a moment in time.

o When trapped vibrations can only dissipate over a period of time.

o Vibration (like electricity) is always seeking ground.

o Any physicist worth his weight will tell you it is physically impossible to isolate anything from vibration.

Now assume for the moment that the most harmful vibrations are air-borne and you 'add some isolation' under your components. Where do you suppose the air-borne vibrations captured by your component will go if the component is 'isolated'?

-IMO

Before this thread goes down a rabbit hole, let me add the Gingko is an essential upgrade to the Scout. Made a profound difference for me.

Stehn,
I am not able to debate physics with you. I am only seeking better sound.
The Scout sits on the top shelf of a Premiere audio rack I purchased in 1999 for about $180...certainly not intended to support a $2000 turntable I purchased only 6 months ago. The construction of the rack is steel with three quarter or one inch mdf shelves that rest on the steel framing, supported at each corner. Picture a steel frame with triangular pieces of metal welded at the inside of each corner. That's what supports each shelf in the rack.
My listening room is at ground level, i.e on carpet on concrete and not prone to floor vibrations.
I am happy with the turntable/cartridge combination but if there is a way to get better sound without spending thousands, that is what I am seeking.
