| Looking for turntable isolation advice One problem with the stethoscope suggestion is that the frequencies of interest, the most harmful ones, are below the threshold of hearing, I.e., the seismic type vibrations that excite the turntable platter, cartridge and tonearm are well below 2... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! That’s what they said about the Tice Clock. And the Intelligent Chip. It's likely you didn’t have the brick in the proper direction. Probably best if we throw out the negative results as outliers. Same as we do with fuses. Make sense? | |

| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Just wrap the transformer with low frequency high permeability mu metal and be done with it, oh, and leave the nut on the bolt holding down the transformer slightly loose so the vibration won't couple so strongly to the chassis and everything insi... | |
