If you can't afford the Vibraplane, there are a couple of companies making affordable devices that contain air bladders. Although they aren't as sophisticated as the Vibraplane, Air bladder devices provide astonishing clarity when placed under components. Arcici and Bright Star Audio make very affordable devices. I have tried both and they are a good value. I have over 100k invested in my hifi. The difference in sound when using good damping devices under your components is stunning. It is comparable to a major component upgrade. |
I have a vibraplane under my turntable and it does improve the sound quite a bit. You will notice that everything clers up.You will also notice that there is a layer of haze that went missing that you never knew was there before. There is very little on the downside. You will have to pump it every 10 days to 2 weeks. You might also notice that the bass gets a little lean. It's tighter and quicker. Some people would like it fatter. If budget permits, I believe a vibraplane is a must for good vinyl playback. |
