Swampi . . . It had to be done, so yes . . . I did say it. I'm a believer now, I will follow up on what I said.
Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations
This OP is dedicated to Elizabeth, A'gon's paragon of audio economics and sensibility.
I accidentally discovered a way to substantially reduce bass and vibration feedback into my VPI Classic turntable. Oh, I have to thank my wife too. Last week my wife asked me to place padded furniture stickies under the feet of our bed to protect the hardwood floor.
I looked as these cheap gizmos and said to myself, I have a better idea. I place a padded sticky under each foot of my TT. I was amazed by how much it really reduced feedback. I even knocked on the el cheapo IKEA table on which I placed the TT -- no feedback. Trust me, the IKEA table is the worst place to put any audio equipment, especially a TT.
Try it folks and let the rest of us know what you think.
