Years ago I built my own cartridge isolator and yes it makes a difference. I have abandoned it as I use better cartridges now. The whole idea of f=ma or whatever science formula using to prove a point doesn’t exactly jive as the vibration of the damping needed isn’t close enough to the dampening maximum provided by the isolator. It’s like a mouse pushing on the side of a building, sure it’s pushing but can you measure it? I won’t even try a new isolator as I feel it’s immaterial to my current cartridge choices.
Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You?
another good read, it does go against my 'instinct' of a rock solid cartridge/arm connection. (non-removable headshell)
Who thinks what?
Who tried what?

btw, has anyone tried a Len Gregory cartridge (with or without the isolator)?
another comment in the article: reviewer mentioned a layer of isolation under the tonearm base (he tried blu-tac). Also against my 'instinct'.
