Magnetic isolation


I was using contact based isolation for my turntable then I recently tried magnetic levitation & it is a revelation! I know it's not a new concept but the sonic benefits are superb. 
Highly recommended. 
Has anyone else experienced the same?

Fec,

You've peaked my interest.  What magnetic levitation product are you using?   I'd like to read up on it.

I can listen at a higher volume with clarity & with a more substantial/extended dynamic low end.

That certainly sounds consistent with less low frequency noise and vibrations as a result of effective isolation.  

Turntable isolation is almost always a good thing.   Magnetic isolation certainly sounds like one viable way to achieve it when needed.

Vibrations a table is subject to will vary case by case but its a common plague that robs a system of performance due to unwanted low frequency noise that drains an amp of its ability to reproduce dynamics in the actual music as best it can.




One thing I thought of that I saw pointed out on other forums is that magnetic fields and phono carts and associated low level phono lines do not mesh well together.

Just something to be aware of. My guess would be tht there is not close enough proximity between cart and magnetic feet to cause a problem.  I'd keep my phono wire connection clear of the feet though if it were me, especially if using a low output MC cart..
Even Foxnews and CNN sometimes agree on some things.  :^)

You’d think it would happen more often considering they both advertise as news not opinion channels.
