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'.

For only a $40 investment, I bought the Enabler for my $5k turntable with a $4k Soundsmith Paua cartridge. It works and work well. I found it to provide more focus and control without losing any soundstage. It also minimized any thumping going through my speakers when tapping on the plinth with volume cranked. I was convinced enough of its Audible benefits, that I bought another one for my wife’s $1600 tt with a Hana MH MC cartridge. Results were also immediately noticeable for the good on that tt too. I also like the bonus of being able to tweak the tonearm azimuth when using the Enabler.
